VLAN Management

Thu Apr 17, 2014 6:17 pm

I'm having a really hard time monitoring and accessing my equipment.

I have 2 virtual APs bridge with VLANs that are applied to the ethernet interface.

Both APs receive POE power from a 750UP that is acting only as a bridge.

I created a "trunk port" to the 2nd 750UP where both vlan interfaces are applied to port. I bridged the vlans and the specific ports on their own sepeerate bridges. Everything works great. Traffic is going to RouterA on VLAN 10 and RouterB on VLAN 20.

I've tried everything I can think of to set up a separate VLAN to access my equipment from off site.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm currently running Engenius with no problems but would really like to get the MikroTik hardware installed.

Below is a basic diagram:

It isn't clear to me what you have tried regarding the management VLAN and what didn't work.

CelticComms,

I appreciate the reply.

Can you just give me a quick rundown? I'd write a book if I explained what I've tried.

My APs that I'm using only have 1 ethernet port. Does the mgmt vlan get applied to the ether interface with vlan 10 and 20? Do I need to create a third virtual AP and bridge it with the mgmt. vlan and apply the 10.x address to the mgmt bridge?

The 750UP are not like any regular VLAN capable switch. There's no option for adding or removing tag. Only applying the VLAN interface. I'm just confused and tired of looking at documentation that doesn't serve my purpose. I'm going to need remote access from RouterA. On the switch do I apply VLAN 10, 20 and 30(mgmt) to my trunk port and then bridge vlan 10 and 30 to ether 4?

On the Router(450G) I have the 10.x address applied to ether 5. I have the VLAN 30(mgmt) applied to ether 5.

No go. Can't ping the 10.x addresses from the router.

I'll update with the resolution later in hopes that it helps someone else in the future.

Dear hngjared,

it would be great to see a piece of your working configuration, because I have a similar problem. :)

Thanks!
