I really need some help from people who are knowledgeable with Mikrotik routers, I’m pretty new to them. What I am trying to achieve is to have Multicast IPTV over EOIP Tunnel over L2TP from one place to another. I already have setup the L2TP VPN and the EOIP Tunnel and it works fine but I don’t know how I am supposed to configure everything for Multicast to work. I have drawn a little diagram of how it is setup currently, not sure if that is the correct way.
Mikrotik Router A has its Eth1 (WAN) port connected to a LAN port of the ISP provided router where the IPTV is coming from as well on LAN4. So I connected LAN4 from that router to Eth5 on the Mikrotik Router A. Then I have an EOIP Tunnel over L2TP to Mikrotik Router B. Mikrotik Router B has its Eth1 (WAN) port connected to a LAN port on the ISP router in location 2 and the STB IPTV box connected to its Eth5 port.
I have a Bridge1 interface on both routers that has the Eth5 ports and the EOIP tunnels added. I’m not seeing the traffic. What am I doing wrong?
You already have L2TP, this can work as a fully bridged connection without the need for EoIP, and while maintaining the full 1500 byte MTU.
The BCP for PPTP is also available as BCP for L2TP: https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:BCP_bridging_(PPP_tunnel_bridging)
Don’t disable RSTP as STP protocol.
Can you please elaborate on how I can allow GRE Protocol on both sites? I have already added the EoIP tunnels to Bridge1, which is where Eth5 interfaces of both sites are on as well.
