how to vlan on master ports

Hi All

im hoping someone can help me

each server has 2 lan cards, 1 int range, 1 ext range, im using a mirkotik CRS

we use to use bridges for each of the ranges and ports, but have since moved to using the SWITCH feature (master-slave ports) and its 10x quicker, and can handle more

however my vlans have stopped working?

i setup a vlan of 182 on the ext lan port on server and also create it on the mikroik too

but the ext lan port is set as masterport of our external ip range

is the way to bridge the 182 vlan on the ext lan port to a brigde thats setup on the mikrotik with an internal ip ?

regards

Simon

If I’m not mistaking you’ll have to start using the VLAN config on the switch chip instead of the CPU. See http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Switch_Chip_Features#Vlan_Table

hi,
tried a few things on that page and no luck,
when i try ‘set ether2 vlan-mode=secure vlan-header=always-strip default-vlan-id=200’
it just simply says ‘expected end of command’
it appears the is no vlan-mode and vlan-header, only vlan-type
i might have to keep looking

I agree that VLANs are non-trivial in MS. I may have pointed you in the wrong direction a little bit as CRS has some different chip features. I don’t have a CRS so I can’t help you from own experience but check out http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:CRS_examples#Port_Based_VLAN and http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:CRS_features. Examples seem quite clear. Cheers.
