RBDiscG-5acD, RBSXTsq2nD trunk over WiFi, possible?

Sun Mar 02, 2025 10:31 pm

Hello,

I know that standard WiFi doesn't support vlan trunks, but it seems that Mikrotik is capable, at least on some devices.

Currently I have the following setup (...)<ethernet>Disc Lite5 AC<ptp WiFi>hAP AC<pptp WiFi>SXTsq Lite2<ethernet>(...) to which I want to introduce vlans.
At this moment that whole chain is on one layer 2.
I have tried to make it hardware agnostic and use EOIP tunnel between devices on each ethernet ends. Unfortunately with EOIP I ran into MTU problem which pretty much doubled the throughput requirement and was very slow. I am giving up on the EOIP and might fall back to Layer 3 solution and rely on firewalls (not ideal).

Due to licensing limitation the discs and square runs on "station bridge" mode (and one of the discs runs in "bridge" mode). hAP ac runs in "ap bridge" mode.

So to reiterate: can one have trunk over WiFi links with RBDiscG-5acD and RBSXTsq2nD in station bridge/bridge modes?

Thank you.

I managed to create a vlan trunk over a test link between RB4001 and RBSXTsq2nD.
It is a fairly forward thing, basically standard vlan setup. The wireless mode is ap-bridge on RB4001 and station-bridge on SXTsq (bridge / station-bridge combo also works).
I will continue testing in live with Discs and report back.
