hi

what i would like to do is the following....
i have a cisco switch a 3500

i would like to devide it in to vlans... so the MT tags the vlans
no problems there...
but...
with our old cisco router we could have to interfaces linked to the cisco switch and let them failover ones on of the cables was disconnected....

the cisco switch is configured the same way we did before.

but i had no idea how to do it on a mikrotik.
so what i think should work is to put the 2 interfaces in a bridge...
and put the vlans on the bridge interface.

i cna do that... but for some reason the R (running) just dissepears before the vlan interfaces...
and i even can't delete them anymore...
if i click delete just nothing happens...

so i have to reboot it ones... and then in console remove them...

is my way the best way the do this.... i mean the bridging or is there a other better way.

a other idea i had was vrrp over the 2 interfaces and put the vlans on the vrrp interface.... but it seems vrrp is only used for fw failover and not interface failover.


pls help

this feature you want is called bonding -- it is available in 2.9 which is beta for now

is there a expected release date????

or is the beta stable enough to be put in a production env....

There's no published release date until now - this question is getting asked more and more (and I would like to know it, too)...

And for using beta versions in a production environment:
I'd be very careful with that - after all, you probably won't get much (if any) support from MikroTik if something goes wrong in your production environment. And the beta versions are beta, because there exists known problems (or at least probably will)...
