I think VLAN and mikrotik is verry difficult.
Who can tell me what is the difference between:
/interface vlan
and
/switch vlan?
I have about 40 vlans on my mikrotik and want to configure one port for 7 vlan’s (TAGGED) but don’t know how to do this.
Please can someone tell me how to configure this?
I want to add an VMWare server to that port
Lets say you want port 1 to have 5 vlans; 99,100,101,102,103
/interface vlan add interface=ether1 vlan-id=99 name=v99e1
/interface vlan add interface=ether1 vlan-id=100 name=v100e1
/interface vlan add interface=ether1 vlan-id=101 name=v101e1
/interface vlan add interface=ether1 vlan-id=102 name=v102e1
/interface vlan add interface=ether1 vlan-id=103 name=v103e1
/interface vlan add interface=ether5 vlan-id=103 name=v103e5
Now you have a interface with 5 tagged vlans now lets apply them
lets say on port 2-5 you have computers and on port 6 you have a huge switch that needs tagged 103
/interface bridge add name=bridge99
/interface bridge add name=bridge100
/interface bridge add name=bridge101
/interface bridge add name=bridge102
/interface bridge add name=bridge103
Okay we have some bridges now lets add some vlans and ports to those bridges to give the computers and switch some connectivity
/interface bridge port add bridge=bridge99 interface=v99e1
/interface bridge port add bridge=bridge100 interface=v100e1
/interface bridge port add bridge=bridge101 interface=v101e1
/interface bridge port add bridge=bridge102 interface=v102e1
/interface bridge port add bridge=bridge103 interface=v103e1
/interface bridge port add bridge=bridge103 interface=v103e5
Okay now we have some one ended bridges that have a vlans but nothing on the other end to get put on the vlan
/interface bridge port add interface=ether2 bridge=bridge99
/interface bridge port add interface=ether3 bridge=bridge100
/interface bridge port add interface=ether4 bridge=bridge101
/interface bridge port add interface=ether5 bridge=bridge102
Now your probably asking why we didn’t put port6 on bridge 103. Well thats because we want tagged 103 going to port six, which is what we were saying when we did this earlier:
/interface vlan add interface=ether1 vlan-id=103 name=v103e1
/interface vlan add interface=ether5 vlan-id=103 name=v103e5
/interface bridge add name=bridge103
/interface bridge port add bridge=bridge103 interface=v103e1
/interface bridge port add bridge=bridge103 interface=v103e5
Hope that gets you started!
