how to increase LAN port in R B 2011 L by using another R b

how to increase LAN port in R B 2011 L by using another R b (493) for example >>> because i want to load balancing more than 14 ADSL line … can i link R B 2011 L with R B 493 using Ethernet cable ???

You could use one port on the RB2011 and add VLANs to that interface then have each VLAN link to a different port on the 493.

Could you explain how to do that? please?

Have a look at this page:

http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Interface/VLAN

Outline for 5 ADSL modems: Choose an interface on each routerboard device to be the “trunk”. On both those interfaces add VLAN interfaces (Interface menu) with (say) VLAN IDs 10,11,12,13,14,15. On the 493 also make 5 bridges called something like VLAN10Br, VLAN11Br etc. Then for each bridge add 2 ports - the corresponding VLAN interface (e.g. VLAN 11 for bridge VLAN11Br) and an Ethernet interface that you will connect an ADSL modem to.

The remaining details depend on whether the ADSL modems are in briudge or router mode etc. Essentially the system above gives to a layer 2 path from the VLAN interface on the 2011 to the corresponding ADSL modem hung off a 493 Ethernet port.

thanks a lot for your support, I tried what you told me but no thing happened and I couldn’t bridge them at last … I spent many hours in vain. can you please tell me step by step? I really need it so much. if you like me to give you the routers IPs it’s ok . hope to hear from you soon
thank you

Please any body reply me

Try posting the configs that you have tried so we can comment on those.

On the 433 that is filling in for the 493 you now need to make 5 bridges and then 2 ports for each bridge. One port is the relevant VLAN interface and the other is the relevant physical Ether interface.

Hello, I use a dell switch with 24 ports, each port connecting an ADSL service, which corresponds to a VLAN interface, and a PC with X86 router OS, and two ethernet card in the pc only.
I use pcc load balancing to 5 vlan interfaces going to the my user, this configuration work fine.

if you prefer I can help you with the configuration.

Best regard.

Thank you very much for your support … you made me save alot of money and I did it finally, without your help I wouldn’t have done anything, thanks again :slight_smile:
