I’m discovering RouterOS 6.43.7 with a CRS112.
Please, forgive me if bellow questions seem too easy or incorrectly worded but:
What are WebFig Bridge/VLANs and Switch/VLAN forms for ?
How do set “CRS112 LAN ports” (ie all LAN Interface List members) to be tagged members of VLAN 2 while assigning an IP within this VLAN to the CRS112 itself ?
(For instance, assigning 192.168.2.254/24 to CRS112 while VLAN 2 being dedicated to 192.168.2.0/24 network)
(During my many tries, tagged VLAN members could ping each other but my CRS112 did not reply to ARP requests
when those aimed its 192.168.2.254 address though those requests were properly embedded in a tagged Ethernet frame)
Bridge/VLANs and Switch/VLAN is configuring the same stuff. The former (Bridge/VLANs) is more ‘modern’ way of doing it while Switch/VLAN is old way of doing it. The former being modern way is, in principle, preferred. However, currently the modern way of doing it is doing many things in software instead of hardware (switch chip). One example is VLANs. Which means that all traffic between ethernet ports will pass CRS’ CPU which will alone severely limit throughput (1Gbps lane for connection between CPU and all ether ports). So for now, I’d recommend to do it via Switch/VLAN configuration. In any case you have to put either “bridge” or “switch1-cpu” on the list of tagged members of selected VLAN.
After you do whatever you intend to do about switching VLANs (either bridge or switch) - which obviously you did already - you have to configure bridge “port” to become VLAN-capable. You have to create a VLAN “device” under Interfaces/VLAN. Then put any L3 (IP) configuration (IP address, …) and services (DHCP server, DNS server, …) on that VLAN interface. If you’re running recent version of ROS, then you have to add that VLAN interface to the LAN interface list to keep firewall rules happy. After CRS starts to talk through VLAN, you can remove “bridge” from the LAN interface list.
