Hi,

I use for a long time RB750GL and now I will change it for RB4011.
I try to set it up manually from default settings but have these problems:

1. I have set the IP address the router, but can't ping it or access it via IP address when its in my Dell PowerConnect 6148p switch. When I'm connected directly I can access it and all is working.
I have set it as replacement of existing router, So I have for testing and settings disconnected existing one and on the same place connected the new one. Only what works is the DHCP from the router over the switch.
2. I thing it doesn't work while it depends on the first step is that my PPPoE connections doesn't work, even its connected and set, but I thing it will not work when I can't access the router over IP.
3. I tried to connect the router with the Dell PowerConnect 6248P switch over 10Gb etc (SFPs on both sites) but it will not work. I don't know if the SFP isn't recognised or why it will not enable and link.

Please can anybody help me with my problems? I tried this many times and always from scratch (have reset the router), but whiteout change.

I have add the actual settings.

Thanks.

First question is why have a vlan and then attach it to the bridge?
In other words if all the ports attached to the bridge have the same subnet you dont really need the vlan.
If however you intend to add vlans then this is a first step but I would recommend removing the bridge from any vlan or dhcp IP addresseing.
I will assume you want to keep the vlan as you will be adding others.

(1) ADD
/interface vlan
add interface=bridge name=VLANTEN vlan-id=10

(2) /ip dhcp-server
add address-pool=Pool-DHCP-VLAN10 disabled=no interface=Bridge name=\
DHCP-VLAN10
TO
add address-pool=Pool-DHCP-VLAN10 disabled=no interface=VLANTEN name=DHCP-VLAN10

(3) If any of your ports are to 'dumb' devices (not capable of reading vlan tags, they are access points and require different setup from Trunk ports (ports to smart devices aka switch).
In this example I will state ether2 (local1) goes to a PC on vlan10
In this example I will state ether3 (local2) goes to a smart switch on vlan10
/interface bridge port
add bridge=Bridge comment=defconf interface="Local 1" frame-type=only allow priority and untagged frames ingress-filtering=yes pvid=10
add bridge=Bridge comment=defconf interface="Local 2" frame-type=only allow vlan frames ingress filtering=yes

(4) Missing and thus ADD
/interface bridge vlan
add bridge=Bridge tagged=Bridge,local2 untagged=local1 vlan-ids=10

(5) Missing (and thus ADD
/interface list member
add interface=Bridge list=LAN
add interface=Internet list=WAN
add interface="Orange Optic" list=WAN

(6) /ip address
add address=10.0.10.1/24 comment=defconf interface=Bridge network=10.0.10.0
TO
add address=10.0.10.1/24 comment=defconf interface=VLANTEN network=10.0.10.0

Hi Anav,

I have named it VLAN while I plan there do VLANs but now I don't use it. I only name it that I can later recognise it.

I tried to copy the settings from the old Mikrotik router, but have problems with seeing it on network over the switch, and then also connecting to internet.
The switch isn't now set for working with VLANs. This will be when all old setting will work.

Thanks.

In that case the response would be thus.......

(1) Missing (and thus ADD)
/interface list member
add interface=Bridge list=LAN
add interface=Internet list=WAN
add interface="Orange Optic" list=WAN

Hi Anav,

OK I will add it, but can you tell me why I can't ping or see the router when its connected to the switch over his IP?

Thanks.

Nope, does the MT recognize the SFP port as being active?
Is the DELL switch on the same LAN subnet?

Hi Anav,

I have now connected it over RJ45, as was the old router and try to find why I can't ping and see it over the switch and by direct connect to the router is all OK. The old router is still working without any issues.

The SFP is another problem, and maybe it can be a problem of not supported SFPs, even I have which should work.

But the primary problem is to see it over the switch over RJ45. I donthave the set vlans so all is in the same network.

Hi Anav,

is possible that the Router and the Dell switch has problems with ethernet connection?
When I have tried to search where can be the problem I have found that the switch isn't seen in the ARP table, or only flash there and when I have tried to ping it, then the pings sometimes was and sometimes not, something line in sequences.

Thanks.

Sorry not much of a troubleshooter, check cables, try a different switch etc......

Hi,

thanks have resolved it.
Has done a clean install of the router with connected on the switch and after that all is working.

Thanks.
