You need a managed switch if you want to push vlans. Unmanaged switches can't recognize vlan tagging. I believe I understand what you're trying to accomplish - the best way to do that on unmanaged switches is to set up IP binding under /ip hotspot ip-binding You can at least exclude the mac addresses of the network devices you want to access without the hotspot clamping down its packets. You need to set up an IP on the MT router on the interface serving the hotspot - at least from that point you should be able to ping the network devices from the MT once the binding has been set up. The ip-binding type is bypassed. For example: /ip hot ip add mac-address=00:15:6D:xx:xx:xx type=bypassed comm=ubnt If the ubnt device is on the default ip 192.168.1.20/24 then you should be able to ping it from an ip on the same subnet assigned on the MT interface where the hotspot is running.

Hey network gurus. I want to setup vlans on a hotspot network for management (access points and servers to use vlans to communicate) I have a vlan capable router (mikrotik) and ubiquiti accesspoints and unmanaged switch.
I want the access points and the server to be on the same vlan subnet and hotspot clients on a different subnet but they share the same switch (unmanaged)
Am not sure if the switch will forward the VLAN id to the respective access point and server? If my setup will not work what options do i have? _______________________________________________ Skunkworks mailing list Skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/skunkworks ------------ Skunkworks Server donations spreadsheet
