Trunking support

mrjoli021 · Sun May 18, 2014 6:50 pm

Hello,

I have been struggling with getting my trunking to work between an esxi server and my MikroTik 1100 AH. I am running version 6.13 and I have read several articles that describe how to set it up, but none of these setups have worked for me. I would like to allow all vlans connected on ports 4-5 as a trunk to the esxi server. This setup was working correctly on a cisco switch, but I upgraded to the MikroTik because it is Gb and faster.
What am I doing wrong?

Please help

If you are trying to trunk the VLANs from one port on another on a MikroTik, you need to bridge the vlan interface and not the physical interface...you also need to create a vlan interface for every physical port that will need that vlan tag in the same VLAN.

ok im fairly new to MikroTik. Is there a way you can give me an example on on how I could accomplish this.

thanks,

Here is the config needed to tag Vlan10 on ports ether1 and ether 2. You can also use the switching chip if the MikroTik you are using has one but that is a different config...this is slightly easier.

ros code

/interface bridge
add name=Vlan10-bridge
/interface vlan
add interface=ether1 l2mtu=1594 name=Vlan10-ether1 vlan-id=10
add interface=ether2 l2mtu=1594 name=Vlan10-ether2 vlan-id=10
/interface bridge port
add bridge="Vlan10-bridge" interface=Vlan10-ether1
add bridge="Vlan10-bridge" interface=Vlan10-ether2

I Would use the switch chip for what your doing. But what is it exactly what your trying to accomplish?
Do you want to team the 2 interfaces of esxi? Or do you want the traffic from esxi to the router and back to esxi?

I have several servers on the ESXi on different VLANS. I need to be able to connect to them from a switch port connected to the MikroTik.

Ok It worked with your old switch so you're shure the esxi part is configured correctly.
And you want to connect your esxi machine to your mikrotik with one cable?
And then divide the vlans over several ports on your mikrotik?
Do you want to have inter vlan traffic, to be able to connect a server on another vlan.
