MikroTik

I need to use a multihomed RouterOS device to take two upstream untagged ports and join them together into a single downstream tagged port. Normally this would be a trivial application of bridge vlans, but in this application the upstream network does authentication based on MAC address. Since bridges only have a single admin-mac, that means the bridge would present the same MAC address on both upstream ports.

How do I configure a Mikrotik device to be multihomed on two different ports, presenting a different MAC address to each? I do not need any form of STP to be working.

Here's one option I came up with, can anyone advise on a less crazy way to do it?

Create a bridge with VLANs as per normal, set a ethernet switch rule to block packets from the admin MAC, create a VLAN interface on the bridge for each VLAN, create a single-member bridge on top of the VLAN interface with a manual different admin-mac.

I would use /interface bridge filter and /interface bridge nat rules instead, as described here. Don't miss the last post!

Interesting. So you'd use those to rewrite the admin-mac on the second port? Do the bridge nat rules work on traffic that comes from the router itself?

Yes.
