RB750G - Can't add port to bridge

Wed Sep 01, 2021 12:14 am

Hi!
I want to put two ports into a second network on my RB750Gr3, which needs its own DHCP server. I thought I knew how to do all this, having extensive experience in networking in general, and Mikrotik over a few years.
I reset the router to its default configuration, created a new bridge, then added ether4 to the bridge. While there is traffic on the port, this doesn't appear on the bridge. I previously tried setting up DHCP on the bridge, which had no effect. Configuration is attached. (Router doesn't currently have Internet access and doesn't know the time.)
Am I missing something simple?
Thanks!
Steve

It gets very confusing to use two bridges but lets say thats okay.
The problem is you have fully defined both bridges yet.

Missing is the IP pool for the bridge called bridge
Missing is the interface=Wireless list=LAN under /interface list member!
Missing is the IP address for the bridge called Wireless
Missing is the IP dhcp network for the bridge called wireless


This you can set to none, better security.
/tool mac-server
set allowed-interface-list=LAN

I do have to ask the question, is there a reason they are separated?
Is bridge wirless allowed to access bridge bridge and vice versa ??
