Nstreme Dual - unable to create management VLAN - how to?

RouterOS General
1

Hello,

I have a Nstreme Dual link and need to make a trunk through it. Normally, what I do is to:

  • create trunk on Ethernet with all VLANs I need,
  • create trunk on Wlan with all VLANs I need,
  • bridge appropriate VLANs together.

All done.

But I realized that on Dual Nstreme I cant create VLAN on nstreme1 interface. Is this possible to make trunk on Ethernet and pass VLANs inside Nstreme Dual? how?

I’m using 433AH with old Sparklan cards but I can also use MikroTik ones (although I suspect that’s irrelevant as on wlan1,2 I can create VLAN).

Of course, this time this is urgent…

Thank you!

We do it this way, using a trunk port on a Cisco switch:

-Put ether1 and nstreme1 as ports in bridge1
-create mgmt vlan on bridge1 (vlanx)
-assign mgmt ip address to vlanx

Everything else will be trunked through.

Fine, but I assume you’ve forgot to add that Cisco/MikroTik switch would be necessary on both sides? that not a way to go unfortunately, I can’t have them.

Anyway thank you very much!

If you create a bridge on each end and add only the dual-nstreme interfaces to the bridges - you can add the management VLAN to the bridge

Hello,

I did like you said:

  • added single bridge with nstreme and ether1,
  • added vlans on bridge1 (mgmt and working).

All fine, VLANs are separated on both sides, tried to change adress from one VLAN to another - doesn’t connect so its good.

Thank you, I must have tried by myself :slight_smile:
