Hi, I want to make VLANs and add them to trunk port on Mikrotik CCR1009. I made such a port, but everytime I create new bridge and add interface to it it appears as disabled port! I can’t ommunicate through this interface no matter what. I see that I have switch1 and ether5, 6,7,8 ports are not added to this switch.
What exactly are you trying to do? Bridging VLANs sort of defeats the purpose of the VLAN. If you want a “trunk” port, meaning it just passes all of the VLANs, a generic bridge of physical interfaces will suffice. You can hang VLAN sub-interfaces off of the bridge if you are trying to use the mikrotik as a router for any of the VLANs.
Actually not bridging VLANs I’m trying to do. I’ve got on this router ether1-ether4 added to switch1. Ether1 is configured with 2 IP addresses which are NATed to 2 different VLANs. ether2,ether4 are VLAN 11, ether3 is VLAN 10. I want to have 3 more VLAN’s and I’m going to put AP everywhere which will be other brand - not Mikrotik. They will have separate controller and I want to configure VLAN 20,30,40 to be on ether5 for example and connect to one port on the controller (both trunk) and make NAT the 1st IP address from these 3 VLANs. I tried to enable ether5-ether8 ports but they’re showing as disabled in the bridge. And ofcourse I can’t turn them on.
5-8 are not part of the switch. They will show inactive in bridge until you plug something into the port.
