Hi there,
I have the following problem to solve. I want to have two different networks in order to provide a completely different subnet on guest wireless. Our MikroTik router is a CCR1016-12S-1S+ and the wireless network is consisted by a TP-Link Omada OC200 Wi-Fi controller and 7x TP-Link EAP245 Wi-Fi Access Points.
here is the configuration. Currently there are 4 physical ports on the Mikrotik firewall that are member of a bridge, called "LAN-Bridge" and they are connected to 4 switches (in different floors of the building), via fiber optic cables and SFP Transceivers. I also have created two VLAN interfaces under Bridge ports, the vlan1 and vlan4, trying to handle the two different DHCP servers/subnets/pools, configured also in Mikrotik.
In the TP-Link controller I have created two Wi-Fi networks. The first one works fine, as it utilizes the VLAN 1, which is the default one, but the second one, which is configured on VLAN 4 is not retrieving IPs. I have to note that the switch ports where the Access Points and the Controller are trunked already, because the same setup was before with another router which is recently replaced by the Mikrotik.
I searched the Forums and I could find this post (viewtopic.php?t=123293#p607076), but it didn't really help me, as there was a mess, when tried to assign the IP on the vlan1, instead of the "LAN-Bridge".
I don't know how could I make trunk on the ports or on the Bridge, in order to allow traffic on both VLANs and have the 4 physical ports on a bridge, where two different DHCP servers would be able to assign IPs, based on the VLAN.
I would appreciate here any help from anyone who has understood the case and has the experience to provide me accurate information or sample of configuration, in order to understand how should I configure this router.
Thanks a lot in advance all that will be bothered to give me an answer.
With kind regards,
