created VLAN but cannot route through to internet from it.

RouterOS General
1

Hey everone.

I’m quite a noob with Mikrotiks so any help would be much appreciated.

I need to add a VLAN to my network. I have managed to add the VLAN and am getting IP addresses from the Mikrotik on it.

I can also ping the DG (VLAN interface IP address) of the VLAN from the clients. However I cannot ping through to the internet from it.

I have tried adding a prerouting mangle with a routing mark on the traffic and a masquerade rule under NAT but I must still be missing something.

Can anyone give some pointers where I’m going wrong?

Thanks

Please read this tutorial very carefully, it is the best resource (in my opinion) on VLAN and RouterOS:

Thanks for that link. I did see it but a lot of it goes over my head and actually just adds to the confusion.

Below are the relevant seetings I have made so far on the router.

/interface vlan
add interface=LAN name=STAFF vlan-id=3

/ip pool
add name=dhcp_pool3 ranges=10.3.3.2-10.3.3.10

/ip address
add address=10.3.3.1/24 interface=STAFF network=10.3.3.0

/ip dhcp-server network
add address=10.3.3.0/24 dns-server=8.8.8.8 gateway=10.3.3.1 netmask=24

/ip firewall mangle
add action=mark-routing chain=prerouting log=yes new-routing-mark=use-staffgw
passthrough=yes src-address=10.3.3.0/24

/ip firewall nat
add action=masquerade chain=srcnat dst-address=0.0.0.0/0 log=yes src-address=
10.3.3.0/24

I think I manged to resolve it. I needed to add some routing rules.

I got the idea from this post:-

if you post your config it will be clearer what you are attempting to do.
The requirements are not well stated thus far.
/export hide-sensitive file=anynameyouwish.

It is not clear to me if you simply want one subnet (vlan) to use a specific WAN interface (assuming you have more than one) or something else…
