Hi, someone can help with my configuration please?
I have the RB2011 configured with the VLAN100 and VLAN 101 (internet and voice). This month I have subscribed also the TV service. After long nights trying to configure the IGMP on the MT I gave up. The alternative plan will be the Mikrotik for internet and voice and the thomson only activated with the VLAN 105 for TV. I tested with one secondary switch on the WAN side (ONT) and everything working fine. To avoid the use of this Switch how to configure in the RouterOS one Switch between ether1 and ether2 to receive the WAN connection from ONT and "pass through" the traffic to the ISP router configured with the VLAN 105?

Take a look at the image. Opinions will be very appreciated. Thanks for the help.

Where did the thomson router come from??
Why is not vlan105 coming from vodaphone in your diagram??

Hi, thanks for the reply.
The Thomson is the Router supplied by Vodafone. After several RouterOS tests, with different configurations (firewall, IGMP, etc), only the ISP Router can provide TV to the STB. Sorry, my diagram has a mistake, the VLAN 105 come from Vodafone. The RB2011 "catch" the VLAN's 100 and 101. The Thomson is already configured to receive only the TV VLAN105. My doubt is the configuration beteween ether1 and ether2.
Thanks a lot!

Remove ether2 from "LAN bridge", create another bridge, add ether1 and ethe2 as slave ports and move WAN IP and VLAN config from ether1 to WAN bridge. Could be that exact order of operations is different (might be you have to move WAN IP and VLAN config to bridge first, then adf ether1 to it). Adjust interface list membership (add new bridge and ether2 to WAN interface list, remove ether2 from LAN interface list if it's member).

Note: only single bridge can be HW offloaded, so choose the one which does more switching and set hw=no on all ports members of non-HW-offloaded bridges. Note that routed traffic (i.e. LAN-to-WAN traffic) does not benefit from HW offload as it passes router's CPU anyway. The new bridge will switch only IPTV traffic, the LAN bridge switches traffic between connected LAN devices.

Note2: depending on current bridge config, when you remove ether2 from bridge, you might loose connectivity for a short while because bridge MAC address might change (and that's MAC address of router's LAN IP addresses). Connectivity should resume after ARP caches on LAN devices expire.

Hi, It's working.
Many thanks!

Hi, It's working.
Many thanks!

Boas @fmlopes

Podes partilhar a tua configuração do mikrotik, sff?
É que tenho ONT > Asus (para já, quero substituir por um mikrotik) > STB no entanto também não consegui ainda controlar a box STB.
Nos testes que fiz apenas testei NET (que consegui) e depois os testes da STB mas foram sempre sem sucesso!

É que estou à espera de conseguir fazer isso para encomendar o meu proximo router MK!

Obrigado desde já.

Hello!

Those anyone knows how to perform this configuration on Mikrotik (in this case I have hAP AC).

I have the same ISP and would like to remove completely the ISP router, connecting directly the STB to the MK.
Can anyone help me? I've tried to reach FMLopes (I think he is Portuguese that's why I wrote in Portuguese) but no luck.

Thank you in advance.
Regards.

I have very similar problem: I want to add IPTV. My ISP told me "It should be connected to a switch before your router." Adding "If your router allows that, bridge two ports on WAN side".

The problem is with PPPoE connection: When I create a new bridge (WANbridge = ether1 + ether4 in my case), remove ether4 from the bridge on LAN side, and set interface for PPPoE to WANbridge, PPPoE client stops working, saying "cannot operate on slave port".

How to solve that?

My router is hEX (RB760iGS).
