Dear all,
I am new to Mikrotik and need some help regarding the Mikrotik device.
I have several Access Points with multiple SSIDs with each SSID tagging different vlans (eg. 200, 201, 203, 204).
These access points are connected to a trunk port of a switch (GE/01). From an identical trunk port of the same switch (GE/02), it will be connected to a Mikrotik port (Eth3).
Now, I want this Mikrotik Port (Eth3) to function as the gateway, DHCP server for each of the SSIDs of the Access Points.
For example,
SSID: Vlan200 - 192.168.200.0/24
SSID: Vlan201 - 192.168.201.0/24
Once the above is achieved, I need to redirect all connected users from the Access Points to a Captive Portal in Mikrotik for external Radius authentication.
Is the above possible and how do I go about achieving it?
Any help will highly be appreciated.
Best regards,
Tek
First step is to add the necessary VAN interface with each VLAN ID to Ether 3 on the routerboard. Then add the corresponding IP address, and DHCP server to each VLAN interface. For the VLAN server you also need to make the relevant Network entries and create IP pools.
Once that is done clients on each VLAN should be able to DHCP for an IP and receive IP, netmask, gateway and DNS servers.
Hi CelticComms,
Thank you for your reply.
I have created the required Vlan interfaces, IP addresses and DHCP Pools based on the Vlans.
I will be testing this tomorrow which I believe will work as required.
Regarding my 2nd question, I already have a working Radius server.
How do I redirect all connected clients from my Access Points to the Captive Portal in the Mikrotik for authentication?
Any suggestions and feedback will highly be appreciated.
Best regards,
Tek
You will have to configure the Hotspot service on those interfaces. Have a look at this Wiki page:

Hi CelticComms,
Thank you very much for your help.
The hotspot service is working now after creating the service for each Vlan interface from IP > Hotspot
