Is EOIP a good option if I want to trunk traffic from a “Guest” SSID across an Infrastructure that cannot handle Vlans?
The switch My Downstairs AP and my Alix (running routerOS) is on Does support Vlans but the switch my upstairs AP is connected to doesn’t
The AP upstairs is my RB751, so currently I’ve bridged the “Guest” SSID to an EOIP tunnel between the 2 RouterOS devices.
Do I need any Filter rules on the 751 to prevent the “guest” traffic ending up on the main LAN, the RB751 doesn’t have any IP interfaces on the “guest” network and the Firewall on the Alix is configured to filter traffic between the “guest” network and the main Lan.

It might have helped if I’d used consistent interface names ![]()
