[BUG?] RB1100AH - VLAN support on switch interface.

RouterOS General
1

Hi,

I got my new RB1100AH and tried to configure VLAN on the switchports.

After a few hours I failed to get VLAN on the network ports (1-10) up and running.
On port 11-13 VLAN is working fine.

Now I think the problem is that I can’t set “vlan-header=leave-as-is”, which is needed to forward the VLAN tag?

I tried to set the vlan header whit this command:

[admin@PVT-RZ-RB1100AH] > /interface ethernet switch port set vlan-header=leave-as-is vlan-mode=fallback  0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11

It doesn’t set the “VLAN HEADER”?
Is this a bug or normal behavior?

I want to create a trunk port with vlan interfaces and link them into bridges.

Hello
I got the same problem, vlan-header not supported. My OS is 5.11 i tried to downgrade to 5.09 problem persist. If I set switches port to disabled they got vlan-id 2 ? I tried and vlan id 2 is working, but only id=2 !!! Anyone else not, for separate vlan’s of course. I can see that your post is very old, some workaround ?
I suggest you too take a look at the resource, did you got sector wrrites count empty ? I got ! Just 0.00
I got another microtik router 750G that works fine, vlan and resources.
I think too it is some king of bug.

Hi,

problem still exist, my current workaround is to use ports 11-13 for vlan (ports with no switch cpu).
But the ports on the Atheros switch cpu aren’t usable with “software” vlan for me.

Interesting is that the wiki told me, that a Routerboard 1000 series should have an Atheros8316 cpu.
http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Switch_Chip_Features

Atheros8316 is present on <....> and RB1100series(ether1-ether5, ether6-ether10).
Atheros8327 is present on RB750GL.

But on cmd it’s an Atheros8327?

 0   switch2                                                             Atheros-8327
 1   switch1                                                             Atheros-8327

It seems like that the Atheros switch cpu doesn’t forward the vlan tag to cpu!

I got the same cpu Atheros8327 on my Rb1100AH,
You probably using trunk and switch with vlan’s.
I want to use embedded switch of this router to set the IP’s over to 7 clients, I need to use L2 switch, and want to seperate this using vlan’s.
Ha the best ! Only vlan tag 2, works, I checked it with various configuration. The rest vid are doing nothing ;(

Did you look at your router’s resources ? Yours didnt show the cycle writes too ?

I will send an email to support with it, very very strange behaviour, be more specific vlan’s don’t stick packets or stick it forever. Maybe if vlan-header works, but for me router’s says not supported ;(

Tell me you tried to build a trunk or try to separate phisycs port on router ? Using switch on router of course ?

I dont’ know if we are talking about the same.
I’m trying to accompish this kind of setup:

But I don’t get any traffic passing thorugh the switch into my “software” controlled VLAN.
Is this not possible with MikroTik and Atheros Switch CPU?

Config:

/interface vlan export
add arp=enabled disabled=no interface=LAN-intern-eth5 l2mtu=1516 mtu=1500 name=vlan_WLAN_SCAN use-service-tag=no vlan-id=31
add arp=enabled disabled=no interface=LAN-intern-eth5 l2mtu=1516 mtu=1500 name=vlan_WLAN_USER use-service-tag=no vlan-id=32
add arp=enabled disabled=no interface=LAN-intern-eth5 l2mtu=1516 mtu=1500 name=vlan_WLAN_MANA use-service-tag=no vlan-id=30




/interface ethernet
set 4 arp=enabled auto-negotiation=yes bandwidth=unlimited/unlimited disabled=no full-duplex=yes l2mtu=1520 mac-address=00:0C:42:AC:86:EB master-port=none mtu=1500 name=LAN-intern-eth5 speed=100Mbps

The same problem exists - ether1, ether9 work only in access-mode:

/interface vlan
add arp=enabled disabled=no interface=ether1 l2mtu=1594 mtu=1500 name="vlan1223 ISP Peering" use-service-tag=no vlan-id=1223
add arp=enabled comment=to_pc_router disabled=no interface=ether6 l2mtu=1594 mtu=1500 name="vlan6 Internal clients" use-service-tag=no
vlan-id=6
add arp=enabled disabled=no interface=ether13 l2mtu=1596 mtu=1500 name=vlan100-clients-bgp use-service-tag=yes vlan-id=100
add arp=enabled disabled=no interface=ether13 l2mtu=1596 mtu=1500 name=vlan200-clients-l2vpn use-service-tag=yes vlan-id=200
add arp=enabled disabled=no interface=ether13 l2mtu=1596 mtu=1500 name=vlan60-clients use-service-tag=yes vlan-id=60
add arp=enabled disabled=no interface=ether9 l2mtu=1594 mtu=1500 name=vlan1010_Local-Peering use-service-tag=yes vlan-id=
