Please HELP!! 750GL routing HELP!!

I have set up a HP switch to have x5 vlans on various ports and tagges port 48 on the switch to be the trunk. (see attached 2848config file).

I would like to set up the RouterBOARD so that it will have the trunk in port 1 and route between the vlans. I havd an old cisco router doing this job with the HP switch and it worked but as it was old it was very slow, I would like the RouterBOARD to be set up in the same way (see attached cisco config)

I have also attached the network diagram

Simply add the vlans to the port on the Mikrotik you connect up to port48 on the switch and add relevant IP addresses then go from there, it is quite simple :slight_smile:

I have managed to get that far at the moment, the items I am using need PIM and RIP for them to function properly as it is a CCTV network.

It seems that I am able to see all the Vlans and the DHCP server gives out IP address to each Vlan but so far I am unable to see the units in my management software, this is what the PIM multicasting and RIP is needed for.

I can see that the 750GL has RIP but I have been unable to find PIM on it?

Any Ideas?

Repeating multicast traffic across 2 distinct network segments requires you install or enable the multicast package (download from http://www.Mikrotik.com/download.html and pick all packages) however if you’re bridging one of those vlans to another LAN port the traffic should flow normally.

RIP is also possibly the worst routing protocol ever made, I’d recommend spending some time learning OSPF if you’re able :wink:

Thanks for that, I will take a look at downloading the package tomorrow when I get my hands on the router again. I did think that OSPF would be better but the manufacturer of the cctv equipment recommends that RIP is to be used for whatever reason… I will try to find out.

We used to say RIP = Rest In Pieces, which is what it will do to your network :stuck_out_tongue:

Still no joy!

What I would like to achieve is that all 5 Vlans from my switch goes into port 1 on the 750GL and be routed, with the DHCP server (192.168.5.10) in VLAN1 giving out addresses to each item connected to the different Vlans.

I need to use multicast routing (PIM) and RIP as specified by the manufacturer of the equipment being attached.

All the Vlans need to talk to the DHCP server and the DHCP server needs to talk to all the Vlans, but the other Vlans do not want to talk to each other.

After changing some settings on the 750GL the DHCP server no longer gives out IP addresses to each Vlan.
I cannot ping from the DHCP server to the 750GL, I cannot ping from the 750GL to the units connected to it except for the DHCP server (192.168.5.10)

If you or anyone else is able to help with making this work I would be grateful :smiley: :smiley:
