Hi,
I’m trying to setup a mikrotik to use tagged packets and communicate with a procurve switch and bring phisical separated LAN ports with differents IP configurations…
It seems that tagged packets from mikrotik are not understood by the procurve switch and vice versa…
Anybody as a similar running configuration ?
Do I need to setup my VLAN’s on a bridge or on the ethernet interface ?
Is there a difference between ID’s numbers of HP and Mikrotik ?
Cheers,
Julien

I would specify ethernet interfaces instead of bridge interfaces in the MT vlan configuration.
Make sure the ethernet card support larger MTUs. The routerboards support it, cheap realtek ones support it. 3com cards don’t.
See the attached image showing the MT and ethernet switch config. The port4 on the HP goes to the MT’s ether2.
In the following case: Three MT’s connected to a switch (H1, AP1, AP2). Mt called H1 is a hotspot manager and in its ether1 has Internet Conection and in ether2 gives hotspot service. AP1 and AP2 are to MT with Wireless interface active to give wireless covering. AP1 and AP2 are connected to the switch with itd ether1.
H1 has the hotspot service in the interfaz my_vlan with ID 1.
AP1 has a VLAN to H1 with ID 1
AP2 has a VLAN to H1 with ID 1
Can AP1 and AP2 shared the same ID VLAN to H1? Is there any conflict?
(To watch a network diagram, See thread http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/interface-spreading/13870/1 )
Thanks JP,
Your printscreens where helpfull for me, I forgett to tag the MKT port for the destination VLAN…
But I have a recent procurve switch and I had to activate also the “VLAN awareness” of each port on the web interface…
Awacenter, routers HAVE TO share a common VLAN ID, that’s the goal, they need to have the same to communicate through the 802.1Q protocol…
