Bridging transparently two different networks

RouterOS General
1

Hello,
we want bridge 2 networks: 10.10.12.0 and the 10.10.14.0, the two networks are connected (physical) wirelessly, we are using the transparent bridge (with WDS) as described in the mikrotik wiki, we want to keep this transparence. the wds bridge on both ends have the IP addresses: 10.10.12.230 and 10.10.12.231,soi can ping them from one end (10.10.12.0 network).
thank you very much,
best regards
nabil

Where is the question ?
As you are asking about bridging, and already do this by WDS (or I do not understand you correctly).

really the question is not clear, but if I have understood you correctly you have not problem bridging 10.10.12.0/24 subnet, but you have problem bridging 10.10.14.0/24 subnet, is that right or something else, please explain a bit in more details your problem.

Regards.

Hello,
the 10.10.14.0 network is not reachable (no ping possible) from the 10.10.12.0 network, and so on the 10.10.12.0 network isn’t reachable from the 10.10.14.0 network.
it means there is no ping from hosts in the 10.10.12.x to the 10.10.14.x, and vice versa.
i don’t know if the EoIP will resolve the problem, or that wds is better. also what is the best solution to get the best link (i read the EoIP is better forlink quality, WDS is better for throutput).

if you bridge those 2 networks then they should be on the same network, eg 10.10.12.0/24 or 10.10.14.0/24 or just use correct routing, because if you even bridge them, but they will stay one different subnets you wont be able to ping 10.10.14.x from 10.10.12.x address

In this case you should use routing after the bridged link, just remember that bridge is layer 2 device. In your case subnet 10.10.12.0/24 can communicate with 10.10.14.0/24 just through the routing or if you aggregate these two subnets in larger prefix like 10.10.12.0/22

Hello,
can you tell us how to route them, or give us some links for documentation on how to do that.
thanks

Do you have a router after the bridged link?
If yes than just add an address from the subnet 10.10.14.0/24 what will be also the gateway for the clients from that subnet. The router will than find the way to 10.10.12.0/24 subnet, since both subnets will be directly connected networks of that router.

thanks,
the two link extremeties are : RB133 and RB133c, bouth have routing capabilities.
they are connected to the networks with ethernet ports, to each other wirelessly.
if i add the ip address 10.10.14.x to the station side (10.10.12.231),ithink it will then resolvethe problemfromone side,the other side i have the hosts 10.10.12.x that want ping the 10.10.14.0 network.
any suggestion?

I know it’s a bit late, but did you use NAT or OSPF on the bridge to allow them to translate and communicate?

you have to set on gateways that that the other network is available behind what router.

here you can read about routing:
