PTP Wireless link question

RouterOS Wireless Networking

A company needs a PTP link in their internal network. They have an existing network with vlans configured. Ill probably be using two sxts for this link. The ethers and wlans will be bridged and in wds mode.

My question is…

Will this setup pass tagged vlan traffic by default or do I need to specify every vlan?

Thanks in advance!

You won’t need WDS for this.

You just put the ethers and wlans into abridge at each end, and then on one end the wireless mode should be set to Bridge, and at the other Station-Bridge.

WDS will probably work better as this is what it was designed for, completely transparent bridge.

Stationbridge may work without a hitch, I haven’t used it yet. Station psuedobridge wasn’t as transparent as WDS.

Thanks for the replies!

So does a MT by default untag vlan traffic? Because vlans will be going over the link.

Just thought WDS would be better so the MAC address’s would come through.

Thanks again

I am not that experienced with vlans, so I can’t answer that.

If the vlan will pass through a dumb switch then it should pass through MT running a WDS bridge.

Please don’t use WDS - you don’t need it.

Please read the documentation:
http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Wireless_Station_Modes#Mode_station-bridge

Station-bridge provides a transparent Layer 2 bridge between MikroTik devices - no need for WDS.

The VLAN tags will pass through and be retained.
