Hello
I have just started using MikroTik RouterOS, which I think is brilliant but i’m in dire need of assistance.
I’m configuring a BGP signalled VPLS network using v5.2 (MikroTik) which is part of my research topic.
I’m having difficulty in configuring the BGP protocol for VPLS.
I’ve looked at the BGP_based_VPLS example but i’m not succeeding in emulating a similar network.
Please help with a detailed/step-by-step BGP_VPLS configuration.
Much appreciated.
Kind regards

Which part you were unable to configure?
Thanx mrz for the quick reply
Under the section of “Configuring ethernet bridging”, i have created the two bridges “A” and “B”, but im finding difficulty in appropriately adding my customer ethernet interfaces to them.
Kind regards
to add interface as bridge port
/interface bridge port
add interface=ether1 bridge=A
add interface=ether2 bridge=B
/interface bridge port
add interface=ether1 bridge=A
add interface=ether2 bridge=B
Using VMware Workstation on 2 computers (PC) running on windows XP, I created 5 mikrotik routers on one machine (PC) and 5 clients on the second machine (PC). The 2 computers are connected via a D-link switch. So i only have 1 ethernet interface as shown in the attachment.
So how would I configure the client to router interface and vice versa.
Kind regards
