After upgrade to 7.2.3 tagged wireless interfaces no longer work.

Tue May 10, 2022 8:15 pm

When I was on 6.49.2 this config as documented at https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:VLANs_on_Wireless worked just fine:

/interface bridge
add name=bridge1 vlan-filtering=yes
/interface vlan
add interface=bridge1 name=lan vlan-id=10
/interface wireless
set mode=ap-bridge name=wlan1 security-profile=wlan1 ssid=wlan1 station-roaming=enabled vlan-id=10 vlan-mode=use-tag wireless-protocol=802.11
/interface bridge port
add bridge=bridge1 interface=wlan1
/interface bridge vlan
add bridge=bridge1 tagged=bridge1,ether2,wlan1 vlan-ids=10 untagged=ether3

After upgrading to 7.2.3 it simply wouldn't bridge the wireless interface and I had to resort to removing the vlan-mode=use-tag in the wireless interface and put it in the bridge vlan untagged:

/interface bridge
add name=bridge1 vlan-filtering=yes
/interface vlan
add interface=bridge1 name=lan vlan-id=10
/interface wireless
set mode=ap-bridge name=wlan1 security-profile=wlan1 ssid=wlan1 station-roaming=enabled wireless-protocol=802.11
/interface bridge port
add bridge=bridge1 interface=wlan1 pvid=10
/interface bridge vlan
add bridge=bridge1 tagged=bridge1,ether2 vlan-ids=10 untagged=ether3,wlan1

Why did the first config not work in 7.2? I would think that the wifi interface tagging everything like a trunk interface should have worked fine. Did this change in 7.2?

Still trying to figure it out myself but that vlan part of wireless interfaces is moved elsewhere as of ROS7 (only with wifiwave2 ?)
Use the bridge.
https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:I ... _Filtering

I would be grateful for a "simple translation" ROS6 to ROS7 for this particular aspect. I'm sure the more savvy members can come up with something like this.
One could also look at this thread but to my liking, this is overly complex (I even tried to copy -paste such a config to a spare hAP AC2 for testing, didn't work at all !)

Hmmm ... just found this:
https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ ... n+Wireless

Might have to experiment with it to see how that works.

That's exactly the same information in my first post, and the config that doesn't work.

Sorry missed that one.

Until someone comes with a working example. I'll play with it too too see what it brings.

Since wifiwave2 drivers don't support VLAN procedures themselves, it would be better to convert wireless to "simple access port" of VLAN aware bridge ... just like you did it. Nothing wrong with it. Hopefully some day most of MT devices will receive L2 HW offload, like RTL8367 and MT7621 did with 7.1rc ... and when that day comes, we won't even think about using wireless driver doing VLAN operations.

And in laymen terms with config that translates to ... ??

Problem is that help page and the "Using RouterOS to VLAN your network"-thread, are ROS6-biased.
Something is "different" in ROS7 which (luckily) I am not the only one to have problems with.

Always configure VLANs exclusively under /interface/bridge ... don't even think of doing it elsewhere, such as /interface/wireless or /interface/ethernet.
