vlan bridging

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

I want to connect 2 SSIDs on a wireless AP to two different nets on an RB-2011. The AP is connected to interface ether1 on the RB.

The AP tags traffic from one of the SSIDs with vlan 20, traffic from the other SSID is untagged. The AP is connected to ethernet port “ether1” on the RB.

RB setup (per Miktrotik manual a “hybrid port”):

/interface vlan add interface=ether1 vlan=20 name=vlan-20
/interface bridge port
add interface=ether1 bridge=bridge1
add interface vlan-20 bridge=bridge2

bridge1 and bridge2 have addresses and dhcp servers defined and work fine for other traffic.

Problem: vlan-20 traffic does not show up on bridge2. Under “interfaces”, vlan-20 shows bytes in the Tx column, but always 0 under Rx.

Curiously torch report vlan 20 traffic on ether1 and bridge1, but not on bridge2.

I’d be eternally grateful for suggestions for setting this up!

Hi.


First add a vlan interface trough ether1 in rb2011

In the ap add the same vlan through interface connected to rb2011

For untagged traffic from ap is not necessary to do anything.

Many thanks for your response. I did not get this working in ROS 5, but just upgraded to V6, and now it is working.
