Getting really frustrated....

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

Hi all,

i’m new to mikrotik and i am trying to accomplish something simple. But after ready many sites asked all my friends who owns a Mikrotik i cannot get any further… im almost so far that i give it up. I normally program Juniper routers. They are alot easier in my view.
I hope you can help me a bit.

My problem:

I have a network. With a VLAN capable switch. And i want the Mikrotik (Routerboard 2011UiAS) to supply me with 2 vlans. Both Vlans have the same IP adresses. So i build a VRF. That seems to work? But i cannot get the router to supply me the vlans.
I have the network ports in a Switch configuration. Port 1 is WAN the rest is in the switch config. How do i build a simple setup?
Port 3 to 6 vlan 2 untagged also with Pvid on 1 vlan 2 tagged. Port 2 vlan 1 and 2 tagged (uplink to vlan capable switch) c

I have a config when i was experimenting. But i dont know if it will help… For now when i cant work on it i have a non Vlan configuration in the router. so people can use internet.

I hope some one can help me… Im really deadstuck and not funny anymore I can program a MX or SRX routers with everything but this is to hard…
And after ready so much info i dont know heads or tails how vlanning is working in the Router…


With kind regards,

Aronjd

Try uploading your current config - output from /export compact. If the RouterBoard includes a switch chip you have a combination of switch and router capability so there are many permutations available. In general, the router sees the traffic as presented on the CPU interface. If you want to access the VLAN traffic within RouterOS you create VLAN interfaces on the Ether interface that is acting as the switch master port.
