Sounds like you're separating the traffic at L2 just to bring it back together.

If you want torch on each AP port, how about a mikrotik switch with PoE out? Those exist....I think...

I have no experience with UBNT switches, but if it doesn't provide the tools you need for troubleshooting, then it's not what you want.

Ok, so I'm hearing "the way you're doing it is wrong" Is there a better way? Or just let the R6 act as a dumb switch, and then log into that to try to troubleshoot any per port issues.

Then how do I get all the Ports on the Edgepoint to share the same IP Space?

*nods* just leave the VLANs as native interfaces on the Mikrotik. No need to bridge them.

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.

I'm working on the bench with a UBNT Edgepoint (R6 model) The newest firmware allows you to set per port untagged Vlans in switch mode. I'm thinking of using this to power a cluster of AP's, but I'd like to keep the ability to view per port traffic in the mikrotik via Torch for monitoring/troubleshooting purposes. My Plan was to put each port on the R6 on a different Vlan, Have a Trunk port to the mikrotik, then just bridge the Vlans together in the Mikrotik. This mostly works, as the Mikrotik can talk to each AP, but the AP's cannot ping each other, and it seems that I have random packet loss from the Mikrotik to the AP's. Is there a setting I'm missing that's blocking the traffic between Vlans, or is this a Edgepoint problem? Or does it not like that I'm bridging all these Vlans that are on the same Mikrotik interface.
