Hi Everyone,
I am stuck in another issue. I am using RB951Ui-2Hnd routerboard on our Site B for aggregating 3 x 50 Mbps links and then sending them to Site A where we are having CCR1036. We are using UBNT Powerbeam ISO for PtP Connectivity (WDS Enabled). The problem is this that we were doing load balancing at Site B and then sending all AGGREGATED data to Site A, but we were unable to achieve full bandwidth from all the links, so decided to send all the 3 links through VLAN to CCR1036 where multiple IPs will hit multiple links and we will be able to achieve full benefit of PCC Load Balancing.
I have tried to configure the router this way https://itknowledge4all.wordpress.com/2013/12/05/configure-mikrotik-rb750-as-a-switch/comment-page-1/#comment-117
I have tried my level best but these VLANS at site B are not accessible from Site A. I also tried to configure switch in Routerboard 951Ui-2Hnd but it also not working properly. Any help in this regard will be highly appreciable.
No issue at all, first of all it is needed to start working, after that we can upgrade the hardware easily. Can you or anyone else briefly explain why this thing is not working ? I am having confusion of IPs, like in CISCO we dont need to assign IP to Access Port VLAN and it just pass all the traffic to its trunk port. Can we do the same with Mikrotik to Mikrotik ?
With mikrotik you can use bridges without any ip address anywhere to join the vlans. Just put all vlans at the trunk port and bridge them by individual bridges to their own ports directly. Take care the mac addresses will not be the same anywhere and disable ip forwarding in the trunking device. If you need to manage it by ip, assign the ip to another vlan or to the trunking ethernet. The question is whether the bridging WiFi devices are able to transfer vlans correctly without forwarding between them. You need to be sure about this on your own. Finally each vlan should behave like direct cable. If you have problems further, try to encapsulate the traffic into eoip tunnels instead vlans to see how it works.
