Re: [AFMUG] Mikrotik Bridging VLans
On your Mikrotik bridge, you’ll want to make sure all your VLANs are bridged and no Horizon. I tried something similar… Mikrotik Core -> Fiber VLAN Trunk up tower -> Netonix -> Port based Untagged VLANs to APs All the APs and the Core on the same subnet and they’ll talked to each other fine, like it was all one happy bridge (because it was). Upload/Download traffic was easily discernable from the Mikrotik because each had its own VLAN. No need to configure subnets for each access point and the SMs connected to them. I was never able to get Queues working on the VLANS on an individual basis though. Packet marks were unreliable (in both the IP Firewall and the Bridge Firewall), Simple Queues don’t recognize VLAN interfaces (nor do Interface Queues, for that matter). Torching the VLAN interface worked after adding MAC Protocol to the filter, as by the time it hit the VLAN it had gone through the pppoe server on the VLAN bridge. Admittedly, it’s a pretty weird way to break up traffic on one’s core router per AP.

Re: [AFMUG] Mikrotik Bridging VLans
Always a good idea to have a separate VLAN per AP routed to its own router port in my experience.

I see your point to separate traffic down to the Mikrotik so you can torch local traffic to AP. So you would have something like this Mikrotik (Customer Bridge where DHCP server resides) bridged to vlan which is then tagged through to untagged port on R6?

Then how do I get all the Ports on the Edgepoint to share the same IP Space? On 6/28/2016 10:45 AM, Mike Hammett wrote: *nods* just leave the VLANs as native interfaces on the Mikrotik.

Re: [AFMUG] Mikrotik Bridging VLans
It doesn't like that you're bridging all these vlans. From experience, it's nothing but broken-ness. You can still torch each vlan interface you know.
