IPTV and VLAN

Hi.

I have two interface Lists: WAN and LAN

WAN includes interface 1
LAN includes bridge interface, which includes interface 2-10 and WiFi

In order to get the IPTV to work, I need to pass VLAN 2000 from interface 1 to bridge, so that I can plug IPTV in any of the interfaces. I want interfaces to have access to both LAN and VLAN 2000.

What would be the simplest and most efficient way of achieving this? I have the RB4011iGS+5HacQ2HnD-IN model, so hardware VLAN switching should be supported?

You’ll have to add WAN interface to bridge and convert bridge into VLAN-aware entity. Tge untagged internet access you have currently on separate interface will become access port of a dedicated VLAN, current LAN ports will become access ports of another dedicated VLAN.

Actually your current WAN port will becone hybrid pirt (untagged for internet, tagged for IPTV VLAN). Etc.

Have a look at this nice tutorial: http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/using-routeros-to-vlan-your-network/126489/1

Yes, RB4011 can do the setup in hardware if running ROS newer than 7.1.

And beware of a bug in offloading config … see this thread: http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/help-with-port-based-vlan-rb4011-pls/166507/1
