I want to accomplish the attached network design. I’ve configured VLANs under
/interface ethernet vlan
and created bridges to create TRUNKs. The network works as expected. But the issue is even with 100Mbps traffic the CPU load on CRS112-8G-4S-IN reaches 100% which I’m not expecting.
Just to make clear I was right. I flushed all the config on one of the switches, simply created a bridge of 2 interfaces and tried transferring data through it, the result was same.
But, when I created one port slave, though I don’t know much about that, to the another the CPU load was reduced to ~10% on same traffic of ~100Mbps. But then I don’t know how to, or if I could at all, create VLANs on slave interfaces. I’ve never used switch feature of RouterOS and am a novice when it comes to VLANs.
If someone could help with it will be very much appreciated.
Thank you,
Rahul.
