One interface split...

RouterOS General
1

Hi. Can somebody help me with little advise in RB configuration? I have to do such network configuration, but i’m new to Mikrotik. I’m little confused. My thinking is to create VLANs for each traffic flow:

  1. create VLAN on ether1 with VLAN ID 1 (vlan_a) - light blue traffic
  2. create VLAN on ether1 with VLAN ID 2 (vlan_b) - red traffic
  3. create bridge (bridge_a), ports vlan_a, ether2, ether5
  4. create bridge (bridge_b), ports vlan_b, ether3, ether4
    Is this correct?
    Which additional rules are needed for this configuration?
    How to assign valid ip-addresses?

Rather than ask a question without any background information on how to implement a specific solution (I don’t see how VLANs help with your diagram in any way whatsoever) it would be far more helpful if you posted a lot of details on what you’re trying to achieve (the final design) and what equipment you have available.

i have one interface with two ips, i need to split it, traffic flow on diagram

ps. a lot of details: http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/need-help-with-network-organization/49567/1

My general recommendation would be to buy a VLAN capable switch and use a router on a stick approach (http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/SwOS/Router-On-A-Stick) to route traffic between networks and use the firewall to drop whatever you want to drop.

traffic from ether1 is untagged and comes from different subnets, i’m really needed this switch?

Switches are a heck of a lot better at bridging traffic than routers are. Switches are made to bridge traffic. Routers are made to route traffic. Look at the performance of boards on routerboard.com - you’ll see that they can route far more traffic than they can bridge. Most people expect bridged networks to perform at wire speed. That is only true when it’s truly switched traffic - once you bridge in software all bets are off.
