Passing Vlans traffic over MPLS/VPLS

RouterOS Forwarding Protocols
1

Hello everyone,

I have configured a vpls tunnel between two of mikrotik routers A and B and I have passed a vlan2008 on the VPLS link in the mikrotik router A and B.

DHCP server for vlan2008 is in the mikrotik router A.

Upon configuring dhcp-client for vlan2008 in the mikrotik router B I have successfully received an ip address as well. But the issue is I am not able to pass the traffic of this vlan2008 on other ports of the mikrotik router B.

I have vpls interface and all the other ethernet interfaces inside one bridge except one ethernet interface which is connected to the ONU.

I have tried vlan bridge filtering as well but that is also not working. I would be grateful if anyone from the community can have a look at it.

Below is my mikrotik router B’s config.

First of all, you are using vlan filtering for port vpls1, but you have not added that port to the bridge.
I also think that, since you are trying to pass tagged packets through VPLS, the pw-type should be of type “tagged-ethernet”.

Thank you for the response. I did add the vpls interface after sometime during my testing and it worked. There’s one more thing which I want and wondering how to do it correctly, I have 20 to 30 vlans in the network and i want to pass them all through the vpls link in the mikrotik device A, so, do i need to add all the vlan interfaces and the vpls interface under one bridge ?

Issue is that each vlan is already a part of one dedicated bridge and we have configured dhcp servers for all the vlan bridges. So, I can’t simply add these vlan interfaces into another bridge since each vlan interface is already a part of a dedicated bridge. Any idea ?
