Thanks anav for the positive reply.
I think that the tutorials in Dutch are needed for Belgium and the Netherlands.
Unfortunately, I am not fluent in the English language, and I also use Google translate.
Thanks to all Mikrotik friends who have brought me clarification here.
Thinks there are some information missing here.
If you need inter-vlan routing (i.e. layer 3 feature) on bridge:
bridge must disable VLAN filtering
create VLAN interfaces on bridge interface
then use these VLAN interfaces to config layer 3 features (IP, routing, etc.)
this will NOT be hw-offloaded
If you need only L2 VLAN on bridge:
config VLANs on bridge menu (not VLAN interfaces), set current tagged port to be all of your trunk port on every VLAN entry
config per port VLAN on bridge menu (if you need access port)
enable VLAN filtering on your bridge interface
this MAY be hw-offloaded (hw feature differs)
Hello Jamesits, Does this configuration have to be performed on the RB3011?
Can you illustrate that more with screenshots please?
I appreciate your help, which results in a better tutorial.
regards
You need to read the whole thread / topic here, he has a separate switch connected to a router, which uses a different config.
What you are explaining is when you have only one device, i.e. router
The above is not fully accurate - the sentence highlighted in red in particular is wrong, vlan-filtering does not interfere with inter-vlan routing. The rest is true - to route packets between VLANs, you have to deliver them to the CPU which performs the routing, so this functionality cannot be hardware offloaded. But that does not mean that forwarding frames within each VLAN between physical interfaces cannot be hardware offloaded.
But in most MikroTik router models, you cannot have hardware accellerated switching between ports when you have migrated to the new “bridge with VLAN support” introduced in 6.41!
Before that (using master-port on ethernet interfaces, which refers to switching) that was easily possible.
It is still unclear to me why a bridge with VLAN filtering and no spanning tree protocol cannot be internally translated to a switch config with hardware acceleration in RouterOS.
Hi,
If i need to use the multiple VLANs tagged in the same interfaces, Mikrotik will use only one Bridge interface?
I tried to add the same interface in two bridge under “/interface bridge port” and the Mikrotik return the message “failure: device already added as bridge port”.
PS: Mikrotik running Router OS x86 version 6.42.2.
Thanks in advanced.
Look here and if it does not make things clear, come back again.
Thanks Sindy.
I would like to know whether RB750Gr3 (hEX) supports hw-offload for vlan tagging / untagging on the interfaces.
I saw from earlier post that it may implment it in the “future” and see if it currently supports now. Thanks.
