Hi all,
New to Microtik community and the Microtik devices themselves, however I am hoping to find some assistance in configuring 2 x Microtik switches that will allow VLAN traffic over an EVC.
The EVC is provided by the ISP.
We have an on-prem infrastructure and a rack in a datacentre.
The datacentre hosts, lets say, 29 VLAN’s and 1 MGMT Network which is untagged.
There is a need to allow VLAN traffic (and MGMT Network) to traverse over an EVC supplied by ISP.
ISP has advised this is achievable with MikroTik switches (which I have now procured).
So I now have 2 x CRS309-1G-8S+IN Switches (1 in office, 1 for DataCentre).
ISP has advised this can be done in either of 2 ways.
-
Set GC port as vlan tagged e.g. vlan 2 and then q-in-q your vlans (with a different TPID) within that eg.
[GC TPID 0x8100 VLAN 2 [MY DATA - TPDID 0x8088 VLAN X]]
[GC TPID 0x8100 VLAN 2 [MY DATA - TPDID 0x8088 VLAN Y]]
[GC TPID 0x8100 VLAN 2 [MY DATA - TPDID 0x8088 VLAN Z]] -
Simply send through your frames with alternative TPID, e.g.
[MY DATA - TPDID 0x8088 VLAN X]
[MY DATA - TPDID 0x8088 VLAN Y]
[MY DATA - TPDID 0x8088 VLAN Z]
I would appreciate it if anyone has encountered this requirement and can assist me in device configuration.
Thanks in advance.
