thanx, looks good

following all instructions, see tunnel is runned

rb411 with:
ether1=192.168.88.1/24
wlan1=192.169.99.1/30

rb433 with:
ether1=192.168.88.2/24
wlan1=192.169.99.2/30
Code: Select all

mpls ldp neighbor pr
Flags: X - disabled, D - dynamic, O - operational, T - sending-targeted-hello, V - vpls 
 #      TRANSPORT       LOCAL-TRANSPORT PEER                       SEND-TARGETED ADDRESSES      
 0 DOTV 192.169.99.2    192.169.99.1    192.169.99.2:0             yes           192.168.88.2   
                                                                                 192.169.99.2 

[admin@MikroTik] mpls ldp neighbor> .. .. forwarding-table print

 #   IN-LABEL                            OUT-LABELS                          DESTINATION                    INTERFACE                          NEXTHOP        
 0   expl-null                          
 1 V 18                                                                      vpls1
but cant ping AP's ether1 interface from station, and vice versa
in other words, no bridged traffic

version RouterOS 4.11

If you have two choices and one is based on a standard and the other one is a proprietary solution, choose the first one.
In other words, go for MPLS.

Interesting, we just made a MPLS+Nstreme bridge and will be testing the speed after the installation tomorrow.
If there will be time, the pseudobrige will be also tested, after all a translated text is never to be disrigarded. :)
