Hello; I’m struggling to figure out how to configure a downstream RB960PGS (using as a switch instead of a router) (current 6.44 routeros) which is using the SPF fiber port as an up-link trunk port carrying five VLAN’s (say VLAN ID =100, 200, 300, 400 and 500) and each Ether1-5 port isolated and assign to one of the VLAN’s. IE. Ether1=VLAN100, Ether2=VLAN 200, Ether3=VLAN300, etc.. No routing in this unit between ports or VLAN’s.
Although there are hundreds of examples out there, i cannot find one that fits this exact model hardware, with the SPF port not appearing in the Switch1cpu menu (only ports Eth1-5).
I know how to do this using the BRIDGE and creating 5 separate bridges each containing an individual VLAN # and Ethernet port, which works fine. But i don’t think that’s the best possible throughput and I’m trying to get as close to wire speed as possible, This unit will have a LOT of traffic going through it,
Anyone have any suggestions?
