Hello Everyone, Thanks in advance for any advice you may be able to give me.
I have the following hardware:
2 x Mikrotik RB1100
2 x Cisco SGE2000 Switches
4 x Cisco SRW224P Switches
Im going to do my best to explain how its all connected.
From my 2 x SGE2000 Switches i have 2 x 2GB trunks into the 2 x RB1100 Routers
From my 4 x SRW224P Switches i have 1 x 1GB Connection into the 2 x Routers.
In router A i have configured a bonded port that include all of the interfaces to the 1st SGE2000 switch. I have also create the vlans database on the switch, i have configured the ports connected to R1 into a LAG group (the cisco term for trunk)
But for some reason i am unable to ping my vlan’s default gateway from the switch. Are vlans compatible with MT bonded interfaces?
As far as I am aware, they should be compatible just fine. What you basically would do in your case is make the bonded interface and then assign the VLAN interfaces to the bonded interface.
However one thing you must keep in mind about VLANs with a MikroTik, each VLAN on a MikroTik is treated as it’s own separate routed interface. It is not like a switch where you can assign it untagged and tagged VLANs and just have the Ethernet port handle the rest. What this means to you is if you want to ping an IP of the MikroTik over a VLAN, then that IP must exist on that VLAN interface. You also cannot have a PVID for a port.
Without knowing more about your setup or your end goals, we can’t give you much more guidance on ways to go about setting up the network.
