Configure RB750 for IPTV

RouterOS General
1

Hi.

I’ve been struggling to get my RB750 to work for IPTV.

My ISP uses Vlan10 for internet/PPPOE and i’ve configured it successfully.
My problem is that Multicast comes from VLAN12 and i dont seem to get an IP address in the DHCP client i have for that vlan.
Is there any configuration i’m missing ?

This is my current configuration

[admin@MikroTik] > interface vlan print
Flags: X - disabled, R - running, S - slave
 #    NAME                    MTU ARP        VLAN-ID INTERFACE
 0 R  vlan.10                1500 enabled         10 ether1-gateway
 1 R  vlan.12                1500 enabled         12 ether1-gateway




[admin@MikroTik] > ip dhcp-client print
Flags: X - disabled, I - invalid
 #   INTERFACE                         USE ADD STATUS        ADDRESS
 0   vlan.12                           yes yes searching...




[admin@MikroTik] > ip address print
Flags: X - disabled, I - invalid, D - dynamic
 #   ADDRESS            NETWORK         INTERFACE
 0   192.168.2.254/24   192.168.2.0     ether2-master-local
 1 D 188.83.122.18/32   194.65.169.237  IPTV-Internet

Thanks in advance,

Does the IPTV use DHCP or PPPoE?

5

PPPOE is for the internet connection that goes through VLAN10.
IPTV uses DHCP in a network 10.* that goes through VLAN12.

The Internet connection is working fine , i just cant get a DHCP lease from VLAN12.

I found the problem.
It seems my ISP requires Option 60 to be configured in the DHCP client.
It has to send a Vendor-class-ID or it wont make an IP Offer.
Does anybody have an Idea if this option is available in RouterOS DHCP Client?

I see you already posted in this thread.

Yes , i did , its back to the drawing board for me … I thought Mikrotik was the answer to my issues with my ISP’s router:)

Well , looks like i’ll have to wait.
