Bridging Vlans

RouterOS General
1

Hey All,

I have a 3 hop link to a few clients and i’m tring to move away from EOIP tunnels to connect them to the main office with PPPoE on top of that, let me give you and outline of the system

Router 1
PPPoE Server

Connects to Router 2 Via 802.11a
Router 2 does nothing but connect the 2 sites

Router 2 connects to Router 3 Via 802.11a also.

From Router3 Clients connect to an omni 802.11b interface.

Right now i run an EoIP tunnel from Router 3 which is in a bridge with the omni interface to Router 1 where the Eoip is a bridge with other PPPoE interfaces, the PPPoE server sits on this bridge.

What i would like to do is the following


Vlan ID=2, Router 1 to Router 2
Vlan ID=3, Router 3 to Router 2

Bridge both Vlans on Router 2
Bridge Vlan ID=2 on Router 1 to the PPPoE Bridge
Bridge Vlan ID=3 on Router 3 to the Omni Interface.

I’ve set this up and had it working so that a client on Router 2 can PPPoE but any clients on Router 3 cant, it dosnt look like the Bridge on Router 2 is working correctly.

Is it possable to bridge 2 Vlans running on wireless interfaces? If so is there something i’m doing wrong? Router 1 is .18 and 2&3 are .11

Thanks

Just a bump on this, i’ve added IP’s to the Vlan’s and as soon as i bridge the 2 vlans together the i cant ping the IP’s, The Vlans are on wireless interfaces setup with AP and Station mode, could this be it? would i need to use WDS?

Had nobody ever done something like this before? Come on guys i know it must be something simple

You need do setup static WDS interfaces between the routers.
When done and function, add the VLAN:s you want to tied with the WDS interfaces /Paul
