Dot 1 q link using SXT level 3 software

RouterOS General
1

Hi All,

I have the following

Cisco switch ---->SXT<------------>SXT----->Cisco Switch

I have 4 vlans on either switch.

I have configured the port on the cisco switch that the SXT is connected to as a trunk and all vlans allowed.

I can not get the SXT to pass the tagged traffic.

is this possible to do this without upgrading to a level four license as in this doc ?

Hi,

Yes it is possible to do that without upgrading level. Just try the below

SXT1 : create bridge, add ports ether1 and wlan 1 both in the same bridge, go to wlan1 settings, mode=bridge, wds-mode=dynamic, wds-default-bridge=bridge

SXT2 : create bridge, add ports ether1 and wlan 1 both in the same bridge, go to wlan1 settings, mode=station-wds, wds-mode=dynamic, wds-default-bridge=bridge

Thats it, by this create ur wireless link in pure transparent bridging mode.

thank you so much that works great I do have one more question ?

I need to assign an IP to the SXT that exists on VLAN 10

I created vlan 10 and have attached it to all three of the interfaces available, ether / wlan / and bridge but I am unable to ping or access the ip from other devices on vlan 10

Thanks

How many VLANS do u have ? Management and Data ? AFAIk, you don’t need to add vlan interface on SXT and making it member of all ports. just add IP on ether and make your cisco switchport native vlan 10 with Trunk ofcourse.

Hi thanks I tried that but it did not work. What did work was to create vlan 10 add address to it as add it to the bridge. All working now thanks a mil.
