virtual-ethernet

Fri Oct 23, 2009 4:44 pm

What am i missing?

I am using ROS 3.30 x86 and Intel Dual Core based PC.
I am trying to add virtual-ethernet to existing ether0 interface.
When i try to do that in winbox i get "feature not implemented yet"
If i try to do that in command line i can't because function doesn't even exist

/interface virtual-ethernet
bad command name virtual-ethernet (line 1 column 11)

Do i need some additional packages to make it work?

Thank you

No. I was hoping that i can have something like eth0:1, eth0:2 etc. that is very easy to do on standard linux... Is that possible?

I know that, but i need to have two pppoe servers on those two virtual ethernet interfaces. Every virtual ethernet interface is bridged with different AP's. I need that so that i can always have same MAC address of each pppoe server. If i put those pppoe servers on bridge interfaces i can't be 100% sure that they will have same MAC address after reboot or any other action that i might have... I hope i was clear enough? :)

I hope, Bridge's 'Admin MAC Address' is the solution

Not realy, i was trying to do that. I've used nonexistent mac address and all users on that bridge disconnected without being able to connect again :(

Would VLANs be of any use in this situation?
