Setting Inter VLAN on Mikrotik Router

VLANs based on the definition of independent logical networks within a physical network, as illustrated more easily may be similar but not equal to the distribution of the partition on the HDD.

Some advantages of VLANs, excerpted from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VLAN;

* Increase the number of domain broadcast but reduces the size of each, which automatically reduces network traffic and improve safety.
* Reduce the need to create a subnetwork.
* Reducing the need for hardware, networks can be separated logically, not necessarily physically.
* Adding the control of various types trafiic.
* Create multiple logical does even in a logical switch.


Implementation is done by separating traffic on the wireless client connected using a Virtual Access Point in Access Point AP Mikrotik Router OS-based bridge. Access Router on my network also uses Mikrotik Router OS that then perform shaping and firewall.

Here's a summary of topology;



Wireless Client connected to each virtual AP with different SSID on an Access Point, which is used in this case is the RB-112 with Mikrotik Router OS v.2.9.35. Wireless Client A (Duren Sawit) also use the RB-112 with Station-WDS configuration, while the Wireless Client B (Cipinang) using Smart radio bridge (SB-2100) with the Infrastructure Client configuration.

In Access Point, create a virtual AP, vap1 and vap2 with the master interface wlan1, which each have a different SSID, but running on a single frequency.

Set WDS configuration as usual on the virtual APs using WDS, and then create a VLAN interface on the ethernet interface with a different ID, in this case is VLAN0200DURSAW ID 200 and ID 201 VLAN201CIPINANG

Then create two different bridge (br-br-Cipinang and dursaw), each of which contains the interface bridge each VLAN and Virtual AP

Give the IP Address and Routing on the VLAN interface to be in governance

On the Access Router for VLAN interface in accordance with the ID of each and put the gateway IP address on that interface.

Install the Mikrotik OS using a CD

To install the RouterOS using a CD you will need a CD-writer and a blank CD. Burn the CD-image (an .iso file) to a CD. The archive with image can be downloaded here.

Follow the instructions to install RouterOS using CD-Install:

1. After downloading the CD image from www.mikrotik.com you will have an ISO file on your computer:

   

2. Open a CD Writing software, like Ahead NERO as in this example:

   

3. In the program, choose Burn Image entry from the Recorder menu (there should be similary named option in all major CD burning programs):

   

4. Select the recently extracted ISO file and click Open:

   

5. Finally, click Burn button:

   

6. Set the first boot device to CDROM in router's BIOS.

7. After booting from CD you will see a menu where to choose packages to install:

                   Welcome to MikroTik Router Software installation
         
   Move around menu using 'p' and 'n' or arrow keys,
   

8. select with 'spacebar'.
   Select all with 'a', minimum with 'm'. Press 'i' to install locally
   

9. or 'r' toinstall remote router or 'q' to cancel and reboot.

   [ ] hotspot              [X] security
    

10. Follow the instructions, select needed packages, and press 'i' to install the software.

11. You will be asked for 2 questions:

    Warning: all data on the disk will be erased!
    
    Continue? [y/n]
     

    Press [Y] to continue or [N] to abort the installation.

    Do you want to keep old configuration? [y/n]:

    You should choose whether you want to keep old configuration (press [Y]) or to erase the configuration permanently (press [N]) and continue without saving it. For a fresh installation, press [N].

    Creating partition...
    Formatting disk...

    The system will install selected packages. After that you will be prompted to press 'Enter'. Before doing that, remove the CD from your CD-Drive:

    Software installed.
    Press ENTER to reboot
