RB4011 HWoffload + vlan aware bridge issues

It’s best to post your new configuration whole rather than simply report that it’s “fixed” by some standard, so we don’t have to mentally integrate my partially-mistargeted advice with your prior configuration. It lets us start from the same basis point again.

In the meantime, I suggest that you study these guides:


  • MikroTik’s documented bridge VLAN filtering info. This should allow you to put your ether2 + ether3 LAG into the bridge again. (This isn’t critical, though.)
  • pcunite’s VLAN guide, being far easier to understand than the reference-level info in MikroTik’s docs.
  • My own bridge-per switch chip article, which may be an eye-opener in your particular case; you’ve got three potentially independent LANs in an RB4011, and you need to configure it with that in mind. Bridging everything together as a single switch is possible, but there are consequences.
