Bridge Trunk Ports

Bridge Trunk Ports

I have just bought 2 x CRS326-24G-2S+RM and am running routerOS on them I’m trying to trunk a port between them for all VLANs and then bridge a trunk port from one of them to another port to a wireless ap supporting multiple said/vlans I’m really not new to these technologies just can’t figure out the MikroTik way

The article should apply to CRS326 ... but if you have some weird scenario (can't figure it out completely from your vague description), then you have to adjust the config from article for your particular case.

You can post config (at least from one of units) so we can see if there's room for improvement. Run /export hide-sensitive file=anynameyouwish from terminal window, fetch resulting file, open it in text editor and copy-paste it here - put it inside [code] [/code] environment.

Then you need to adjust your thinking as the guide works, and your config does not......... imagine that!

Thanks all I missed a key part of pvid on ports not working until you enable vlan filter on the bridge

Been there done that! The enabling of bridge vlan filtering should be the last step after configuring all.
Annoyingly this causes the router to burp and one has to relogin and confirm that bridge vlan filtering is still enabled. (sometimes take a couple of tries).
The other common issue, which I did recently on a modification on a capac with RoS was to forget to assign the PVID on the bridge port settings for the access ports.
One cannot go wrong using the guide as a checklist.
