Dear all,
Here's a challenge for the VLAN / Wifi experts :-) : I have a bridge with the main interface of a WLAN Access Point (cAP) and eth1; on eth1 is the main LAN (untagged) and additionally two VLANs tagged 2 and 3. There are no VLANs explicitly configured in the Access Point, the VLANs 2 and 3 have endpoints in another router (serving dhcp to all VLANs). I guess this is pretty simple scemario, there is little configured in the Access Point besides security profiles and the AP is largely concerned with layer 2 business.
Now I want to set up two additional SSIDs W2 and W3 on two virtual wlan interfaces for the VLANs 2 and 3. I spend nearly the whole afternoon trying to figure out how to do this, finally, I came across https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-qQo06ow7Y. The suggested way is as follows: Create two VLAN-Interfaces for VLAN 2 and 3 under eth1, then put these on two seperate bridges. Finally add the virtual wlan-interfaces for the SSIDs W2 and W3 to the corresponding bridge.
This works, but if I understand this correctly it is outdated, since WLAN handling in RouterOS has recently changed. Is anyone aware of a good documentation how to configure this scenario with a sigle bridge and WLAN filtering?
The problem for me is that there are roughly 4 places where VLAN-relevant configurations are located: under the bridge interface, in the bridge instance itself, in the virtual wlan interfaces, and in the VLANs "below" the physical interface eth1... I could not figure out how to combine all this to a working configuration. I managed to set up these VLAN with bridge-internal VLAN filtering in my main router (which runs the above mentioned dhcp-server), but virtual wlan interfaces seem to behave somehow different when it comes to VLANs...
Thanks, Joachim.
