I’ve tried several different ways but haven’t been able to get this to work.
What do I need to do to assign an IP address to a VLAN interface?
I’ve assigned IPs to the VLAN but I can’t access it.
Conversely, how do I assign multiple IPs with VLANs to an interface?
Eg. Eth0 has vlan1 with IP 10.10.10.1 and vlan2 with IP 10.10.20.1
IP addresses are assigned to VLAN interfaces like any other interface.
Are you using Winbox?
Ok. Then I’m doing that part right. I’m using the CLI. I can post an example when I get back to the office.
How do I assign a gateway to an IP on a VLAN interface? Maybe that’s the only thing that’s missing.
Basically what I have done is assigned the IP to the VLAN interface and then put a route in the route table.
But I’m not able to access the device…even though I can access the devices behind it on the VLANs.
The gateway is a routing entry. The IP allocation to an interface is just the IP number and netmask.
For example:
Following these instructions:
add name=VLAN2 vlan-id=2 interface=ether1 disabled=no
add address=10.10.10.3/24 interface=VLAN2
The device will pass traffic through the VLAN and to the appropriate ports… however, it will not respond to pings to that IP address from another device on the same VLAN.
Why not?
And, how to get the MikroTik to respond to PINGs on IP addresses which are assigned to VLAN interfaces?
Thanks!
That is exactly my problem. I can assign the IP to the VLAN but can never manage to ping or access that IP.
So I swear I’ve done that numerous times and it hasn’t worked… tried it just now and it worked as expected.
I’ve posted more details in a similar thread here: http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/ping-an-ip-address-assigned-to-a-vlan-interface-on-an-rb1200/62689/1
.. if anyone wants to look it over…

It seems… in my case… the issue is that if I assign an IP address to the Ethernet interface (e.g. eth1) it does not properly propagate out on the PVID of the network. Where-as if I assign the IP to the VLAN ID of the network then it works.
In my configuration, I have a VLAN set up:
/int vlan add vlan-id=254 name=VLAN254 interface=ether8 …
and an IP on the VLAN:
/ip addr add address=192.168.16.2/24 interface=VLAN254 …
This one MikroTik itself can ping its own IP address there, but another MikroTik across a trunked connection cannot ping it. Nor vice-versa (same VLAN config on the other MikroTik, /ip addr add address=192.168.16.3/24 interface=VLAN254 on that one).
Check what bridging you have in place at either end.
I thought that bridging is only required to make packets which arrive tagged on a VLAN be able to go out (untagged) a physical port?
This is entirely in the memory and CPU of the MikroTik.
To what would I bridge the VLAN, anyway, since there is no physical port associated with responding to a PING of an IP address on a VLAN interface if the MikroTik itself?
Thanks!
The presence of bridges can confuse matters…
Probably best if you upload output from /export compact so we can get an overview.
