Hi guys,
I have found myself in a peculiar situation. I’m working as network engineer for about 2 years now without any formal education or knowledge. I’d like to think that I’m smart so I was able to learn a lot of things fast. I was able to self taught myself a lot of thing about how netwrok a data work, about different protocols (RSTP, BGP, MPLS..), but sometimes it can be pretty hard to configure something you’ve never seen and/or done before.
I work for a small ISP (about 3000 clients) and I bassically manage the whole network myself and recently my boss (former network administrator) make a deal for L2 100Mbit/s connectivity for a local company. Since he doesn’t really know how to configure a lot of things in network he gave me this task and put in charge of this project that by the way needs to be done in a WEEK!
The setup should be pretty simple…
All I need is to setup a single VLAN on our network that will be directly connected to their ISP. Since we don’t use any VLAN on our network (I know it’s terrible) I think it should be easy.
Basically I need VLAN 1679 that will be forwarded trough couple of wireless radios (Mimosa networks) and of course switches. Something like this:
Company ISP → Cisco switch → Cisco switch → Mikrotik CRS326 (all ports in bridge) → Mikrotik CRS326 (all ports in bridge) → PtP 24G → Mikrotik CRS112 (WAN port1 and port 2 be connected to PtP in our administration) → PtP 24G → their Router with VLAN 1679
I know how to configure VLAN on Cisco devices and in CRS326 but I’m not sure about CRS112.
I have configured CRS112 as follows:
/interface vlan
add name=VLAN200 interface=ether1,ether2 vlan-id=1679
/interface ethernet switch egress-vlan-tag
add tagged-ports=ether1,ether2 vlan-id=1679
My questions for you guys are
- will this configuration work?
- If yes, will company be able to access our network (that is untagged)
- will I be able to access PtP 24G radio link at company’s side that will have our IPs on untagged default vlan?
Thank you very much in advance for any advice and/or responce. Whoever send me right configuration will be send cyber cake
