tunnel from RB2011LS through LAN to RB951-2n multicast IPTV

RouterOS General
1

Hello,
I have a problem that there is no good answer on the internet so let start:

  • i have a LAN with 10 pc’s and some switches, now I have iptv port from modem plgued directly to the one port of switch so I have iptv multicast on the whole LAN and IPTV on TV is working super, but IPTV is working also on all computers and that is what I do not want and multicast is slowing all my LAN on that network is internet too but it is not a important
  • i cant make a extra UTP line to the TV because there is WI-Fi bridge 1 km link between and I need internet too :slight_smile:
  • to make 2 wi-fi bridges multicast and internet line to much money :slight_smile:
    Solution:
  • i have RB2011 and RB951 and I wish to make a TUNNEL from let say port 1 on RB2011 to port 5 on RB951 i made a sketch http://beta.makina.org/andrej/IMAG0681.jpg

I was trying with that how to http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Transparently_Bridge_two_Networks_using_MPLS with some changes for my situation and IPTV reciver was communicating with server but no IPTV stream.

Please help me!
bye,
Andrej

Easy, do VLAN with iptv port X (tag all packets input in rb switch port X), activate in wifi wds, read this vlan in near tv router.

you can change ttl of packets with mangle

Thank you for answer but please can you be a little more specific I’m learning Mikrotik.
I made VLAN by that document http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Vlans_on_Mikrotik_environment but there is no data through. What im doing wrong?
Bye,

Ok airblade,
create a vlan in the interface to interconects all (same id) in both routers, modem side and tv side.

in the router side of modem with iptv port…
create a empty bridge
put in the bridge ehternet number X connected to modem and created vlan.

5

That was made all ready. On modem side is traffic on vlan but on TV side is no traffic from RB on modem side to vlan TV side. I have screen shots what I’m doing wrong???

modem side settings: http://beta.makina.org/andrej/rb2011_modem_side.jpg

tv side settings: http://beta.makina.org/andrej/rb_951_tv_side.jpg

Thanx,

modem side:
make the vlan10 in ether4-lan interface.
Bridge1:
…vlan10
…ether5-tv

tv side:
create vlan10 on lan interface
if you router is in bridge mode put in the bridge vlan10 and the out port to tv

7

That is the way how is made now but do not work! grrrrrrr
Please check screen shots in upper post.

I tried to bridge all together on TV side vlan10 ethport5-tv and ethport3-lan and we will see

thanx

I cant make it work!! I think the problem is in multicast. In that device you have like thousand options but not for my problem or I do not know how.

HELP

Thanx

A mpls/vpls setup would be ideal for what you have in mind… that is, “routing a transparent wire through your network”.

Do a bit of research and reply back if you get hung up. :slight_smile:

mpls/vpls seem to be a bit of overkill.

however it will work.

as dcarrera suggested you have to extend Ethernet where multicast packets are at the moment to include your TV that is behind additional router.

When RouterOS bridge received multicast/IGMP packet it will duplicate it on all interfaces but ingress, so you are guaranteed that if you lure multicast packets into these bridges you will have them pouring out on the other end of the tunnel.

so steps are: create bridge on both routers, add WAN-with-IPTV to bridge and one end of the tunnel (for exmaple EoIP, that is fully capable layer2 virtual ethernet). Then on other end bridge port that is connected to your IP-TV receiver and other end of the tunnel. and you should be fine with this setup to receive IP-TV stream, that is if your IP-TV received has some address and actually can send out IGMP requests to start to receive the stream at all.

hmmmm, eoip tunnel as janisk says without vlans, or check your wireless link WDS option (in both devices) is enabled to allow vlan passtrhu

Thanx for help today I’m going to test all of these ways. My IPTV reciver get ip from DHCP server, now if I have active dhcp on LAN, reciver get my local IP and tv do not work so I had to exclude MAC address from all of my local dhcp servers and it is ok.

What has WDS with tunnels on my mikrotik devices is all cable do not use wifi for iptv. I have old ubiquiti link from office to home so that is “cable” or I’m wrong ?

TV is now working but I want to have tunnel to my reciver like is on first post.

Thanx,
Andrej

OK I made it!
Here is the solution: (on my first post is a link to situation of my problem)

  • make some IP to device RB2011LS (10.10.10.200) and RB951 (10.10.10.210) (mikrotik devices) so you can ping them from one to another
  • make EoIP Tunnel (eoip_tv) to those two devices and put remote addresses from each other in (RB2011LS 10.10.10.210) (RB951 10.10.10.200) TUNNEL ID: 55
    -make a bridge (bridge_iptv) and put ports in on RB2011LS( port “1” and eoip_tv) on RB951(port “5” and eoip_tv)


    That is all, and it is working SUPER I have now 2 TV’s on ethernet network with internet. Multicast is in the tunnel from start point to end point.

bye!!
