Hello,
I am using a RB750 as a router and now I need to bridge ports 1, 3,4,5 together. Port 1 has a bridge connected to it which is my backbone. Port 2 has an AP attached to it with its own IP range. I have a backup bridge that I need to connect to port 3 but must talk to port 1. Ports 4 and 5 have host device connected to them. Everything works up until I add port 1 to the bridge then the AP on port 2 is not able to ping out. I used my laptop in place of the AP and the behavior was still the same. The pings stopped. When I remove port 1 from the bridge group it does not recover. I must reboot the RB8750 so it can start routing again and then the pings start again. The initial version was 3.29. I have upgraded to 4.4 and the problem is still reproducible.
Summary
Port 1 - backbone “60.Net”
Port 2 - 5.8 Ghz AP
Port 3 - backup backbone bridge "60.Net
Port 4 - hosts devices on 60.net
Port 5 - HP switch on 60.net
default route routes everything via port 1
port 2 works ok and routes until 1,3,4,5 are added to bridge group.
ip address

/interface bridge port
add bridge=bridge1-60.net interface=ether1
add bridge=bridge1-60.net interface=ether3
add bridge=bridge1-60.net interface=ether4
add bridge=bridge1-60.net interface=ether5
Am I doing some this wrong or is this a bug in the OS? I just checked some other RB750’s which I brought in Oct and they are working.
Thanks in advance for your help.
