The DHCP-client bit was so the RB750GL gets an IP address from the RB4011, so I can route return traffic from my main network more easily. Most of the traffic will be between devices on the same VLAN (50), only 'control' commands are going to be sent from the main network. This device basically sits at another power point in another location so things won't stop working if I am messing with the data rack, unplugging things, updating firmware and the like. The hardware on that network basically stops working if it loses IP address and I don't really want to go down static IP addresses on the individual devices in the network as I don't have control over them myself. Then you could decide if it is worth your time to figure out how to get it configured with the switch method.īasically the purpose of this little device is to serve out DHCP to an isolated network with no internet access. I would expect a managed switch to perform about the same as using the RB750GL with the switch method. If you have another vlan capable switch, you could compare the performance you get it it with what you do with the software bridge. Whether it will be noticeable in your situation depends on what it is being used for, and how many packets per second you will be processing over all the ports. If you need to have ether1 tagged, and you want the best performance, then the switch method is what will provide it.
Look at the test results, where it appears that it can handle about 81k pps, where the switch chip is capable of 406 (taken from RB250 which uses the slightly older AR8316 but has same number of ports). So you are doing vlan operations, and currently doing it with the CPU, which is pretty lame on the RB750GL (AR7242 1 core 400Mhz MIPSBE with AR8327-BL1A switch chip). It appears you are using the RB750GL as a switch only, but tagging on ether1. # DHCP client can not run on slave or passthrough interface!Īdd address=192.168.50.0/24 gateway=192.168.50.1Īdd action=fasttrack-connection chain=input hw-offload=yes Set supplicant-identity=MikroTikĪdd name=vlan50pool ranges=192.168.50.2-192.168.50.254Īdd address-pool=vlan50pool interface=vlan50 name=server1Īdd bridge=bridge1 interface=ether2 pvid=50Īdd bridge=bridge1 interface=ether3 pvid=50Īdd bridge=bridge1 interface=ether4 pvid=50Īdd bridge=bridge1 interface=ether5 pvid=50Īdd bridge=bridge1 interface=vlan50 pvid=50Īdd bridge=bridge1 tagged=bridge1,ether1 untagged=ether2,ether3,ether4,ether5 \Īdd address=192.168.50.1/24 interface=vlan50 network=192.168.50.0
