Riddle me this: Let's say I've got a 4 port Mikrotik RouterOS
device ports e1, e2, e3 and e4 ---
I have incoming tagged and untagged traffic on port e1
(VLAN 1 untagged, VLAN 2 and VLAN 3 tagged)
Ok..so you will have tagged traffic for VLAN2 and VLAN3, but traffic
without a tag should be sent on VLAN1 on another port? Traffic going TO
VLAN1 and OUT ether1 should be tagged or not?
- I want to bridge ethernet-level traffic such that on port e2, VLAN 2
traffic goes out untagged (and inbound untagged traffic goes to VLAN 2)
SO, anything leaving on e2, should not be tagged, but will be bridged to
VLAN2?
and there is NO tagged traffic - on port e3, VLAN 3 traffic is untagged
in and out (no tagged traffic at all)
If it is untagged, where does it need to enter/leave the router?
- and finally, port e4 does VLAN 1
traffic in/out untagged, no other traffic -- CAN this be done?
SO...ether4 is bridged to ether1 and will pass traffic entering on
ether1 (which will not be tagged, but will be from VLAN1)?
Basically e2, e3, and e4 are single-vlan only untagged ports on VLANs 2,
3, and 1 respectively, while e1 is a trunk with VLANs 2 3 tagged, but
VLAN 1 untagged
I'm a little confused on a couple of points (asked for clarification
above). If I DO understand what I think you are asking, then it should
be possible (at least part of it).
Anyone done anything like this? The challenge is that we need to do
this bridged, not routed - kinda like using a switch.
I did some CRAZY vlan work for Centurytel about 2 years ago. Your
scenario sounds like a breeze compared to what THEY wanted! I'm not
sure I can create a configuration like this for free, but if you can
clarify, I can perhaps assist a little...
