Thanks for your help with this ZeroByte, I have done as you said and associated the vlan10 interface with bridge-local. The switch is now functioning as intended.

correct, i'm just having a bit of a hard time figuring out how the 2011 deals with the vlan interfaces. I'm calling the two switch chips on the 2011 sw1 and sw2. currently, the vlan10 interface is configured to ether1 (the master port for sw1 and trunk link for the whole device) ether1 and ether 6 (...

sorry I'm learning a lot of terminology very quickly here and not paying attention to what I am writing. I first set the configuration up with the software bridge between the two switch chips and most things worked as they should. the vlan10 interface was placed solely on ether1 not on the inter-swi...

So the perceived wisdom is software bridging is adequate for the 5 10/100 ports. This was great whe I had it working. What would now be great is if I realised I hadn't made a backup of the config, just a very limited script. That, coupled with my VERY experimental knowledge of RouterOS, and I am bac...

I work on a network with one RB2011 as an access switch for 7 devices. ether1:LAN Trunk (Master) ether2:Access, Vlan30(Slave) ether3:Access, Vlan30(Slave) ether4:Access, Vlan30(Slave) ether5:Access, Vlan20(Slave) ether6:Access,Vlan30(Master) ether7:Access,Vlan30(Slave)(Unused) ether8:Access,Vlan20(S...

What is the recommended way to best utilise the two switch CPUs on the RB2011iL. I am using it as an access switch and have two spare ports. After a very steep learning curve, I am just about comfortable trunking ports 5 and 6 to provide switching across all remaining ports. Is using a software brid...

Why does this work!!!! This configuration looks completely backwards to me and I hate leaving the device with it because it seems like its just going to cause some gigantic screw up in the middle of operation. So far its the only configuration that has succeeded trunking the Mikrotik to my HP2848 an...

So I have the RB260gs serving as an access switch for a room. Port 1 is the trunk link to the Core/Dist switch, Port 2 serves a single device on VLAN10, Port 3-4 serve two guest APs on VLAN30 and Port5 serves a crestron processor on VLAN20. When my laptop directly connects to any of the ports (2-5) ...
