Hi,
Can somebody tell me how may I use vlans in mikrotik network in spite od EoIP?
F.e I have rb493 with physical interface plugged into a switch, this eth i bridged with 4 EoIP’s
HotSpot is setup on this bridge
on AP there is another EoIP bridged with Virtual SSID ( without IP )
And I want to exchange the EoIP’s to vLans
I create a vlan on eth1 and plug it into managed cisco sf300 switch, on AP I’m creation Vlan on ether1 and am bridging vLan1 with virtual SSID and it doesn’t work, what Am I doing wrong? I need to make more vlans and virtual SSID’s but doing it on EoIP is stupid
Are you sure you have the appropriate tag set up on the port switch? The MikroTik will be sending all traffic connecting to the wireless card over the Ethernet with a VLAN ID. Also if you are using a VLAN of 1, that is likely the problem because of the way Cisco handles a turnk port and it’s PVID. It will not send packets out tagged with the same value of it’s PVID.
so I create for example 5 vlans on eher1 vlan10 - vlan 50 ( generally I’m plugging 4 uplinks to switch and I can switch vlan master interface without a charm )
this ether1 i plug into switch in trunk port
i’m setting up on each vlan address, dhcp servers and on one of them I’m setting up a hotspot interface
to the same swich with trunk port i plug 4 RB411 as AP
on AP i create also 5 vlans on ether1 and 5 SSID’s and 5 bridges
and i’m adding 1 ssid and 1 vlan to bridge
vlan1 lets name as managment interface with own DHCP and bridging vlans to wireless should work as vlan to port and everything should work?
also on cisco I can assign a vlan to port with proper vlan id and connect it to another unmanaged switch the traffic will go untagged to that switch?
So you created a trunk port on the Cisco, but did you tell it what VLANs are allowed on it? If it doesn’t know what VLANs are allowed it will just drop the packets that are tagged, since it won’t know what to do with them. You will also need to have a trunk port to the central router, otherwise the router has no way of getting back to the access points.
I’m not too familiar with that model Cisco switch, we had one once and I couldn’t stand it so we replaced it. So I can’t help much with the specific configuration, the best that I can do is tell you in networking terms what needs to happen.
Like I said, I don’t own one or use one of those switches, I have no idea what specific steps you need to take to configure it.
What you need to do is set up a trunk port on the switch and tell it to listen for certain tagged VLANs, in your case 10-50 if that’s what you have setup on the access point router. Then with the uplink port to your router you need a similar port, it needs to send packets that come in on lets say ether1 with vlan10 out of ether24 (your router’s LAN) tagged with vlan10. Your router also needs to know to listen and look for those VLANs.
now I understand it i’ll try to figure it out
