RouterOS supports VLAN on wireless interfaces. Configuration examples contains information about VLAN cooperation with wireless interface features. Both cases work the same way but examples show different approaches how to forward VLANs over wireless interfaces. For example we use wlan1 (Cafe Wifi users) and VirtualAP wlan2 (Wifi for company employees) on one device, and we want to separate both traffics with VLANs.

Summary

RouterOS supports VLAN on wireless interfaces. Configuration examples contain information about VLAN cooperation with wireless interface features. Described cases work in the same way but examples show different approaches how to forward VLANs over wireless interfaces. For example we use wlan1 (Cafe Wifi users) and VirtualAP wlan2 (Wifi for company employees) on one device, and we want to separate both traffics with VLANs. The configurations are sorted by precedence of recommended usage.

Example with vlan-filtering bridge and wireless vlan-mode (Recommended)

Vlan forwarding over wireless interface

Bridge VLAN Filtering since RouterOS v6.41 provides VLAN aware Layer2 forwarding and VLAN tag modifications within the bridge.

R1:

  • Add necessary VLAN interfaces on ethernet interface to make it as a VLAN trunk port. Add ip addresses on VLAN interfaces.
