Hi,

I want to connect two RB-751G-2Hnd to each other.
I Use VLANS and created bridges and trunks.
Do I need a crosscable to connect them ?
SW01 ether5 to SW02 ether1

I followed this manual:
http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Vlans_on_Mikrotik_environment
But I cant ping SW02 If I’m connectot to SW01
Allso if I’m connected to SW02 I can’t ping to SW01
I connected them with a straight cable.

It doesn’t matter if you use “cross” cable or not. The ports are auto switching. If the light comes on each side, the cable is fine.
