admin VLANs and PPPOE question

RouterOS General
1

Recently bought a CCR 1009, to replace my mipsbe RB’s
I have a few AP’s and this is what I want the CCR to do, but can’t get it working for toffee,

4 x UBNT AP’s each one has PPPOE client customers on them, (the customers use PPPOE to connect) connected to ports 1-4 on CCR.
Each ether1-4 has a PPPOE server instance running on it. In addition each AP has VLAN 123 for admin / management
How can I assign an IP on the TIK EG 192.168.1.1 = vlan123 and then that vlan is accessible across the 4 ether ports so I can manage the AP’s without bridging the PPPOE traffic.

Any pointers appreciated,

Thanks

The simplest thing would be to add vlan123 to each Ethernet interface, and then bridge those vlan123’s together.

The “Name” has to be unique per VLAN sub-interface, but doesn’t have to be the VLAN number. The VLAN ID is the VLAN number, and doesn’t have to be unique per VLAN sub-interface.

So, the config would look something like:

/interface vlan add interface=ether1 vlan-id=123 name=vlan123-ether1
/interface vlan add interface=ether2 vlan-id=123 name=vlan123-ether2
/interface vlan add interface=ether3 vlan-id=123 name=vlan123-ether3
/interface vlan add interface=ether4 vlan-id=123 name=vlan123-ether4

/interface bridge add name="AP Management Bridge"
/interface bridge port add bridge="AP Management Bridge" interface=vlan123-ether1
/interface bridge port add bridge="AP Management Bridge" interface=vlan123-ether2
/interface bridge port add bridge="AP Management Bridge" interface=vlan123-ether3
/interface bridge port add bridge="AP Management Bridge" interface=vlan123-ether4

/ip address add address=192.168.1.1/24 interface="AP Management Bridge"

Obviously, you can use whatever naming convention you want for the VLANs, and then adjust the rest of the script as necessary.

Wow ok that worked! Thanks very much, my mistake was not realising you could bridge just the vlans like that. Cool, really pleased.

Thanks
