VLANS on RouterOS in EVE-NG on a CHR and just chatting (The Network Berg Stream Ep.09)

[@Anavllama]

Getting closer to how to add Winbox!! However, when I fire up my winbox, guess what I see all the other winboxes I have on the managment vlan, which my rbg450G is providing my laptop (which is hosting the vmworkstation). Also to note; my add network in eve, does not have an ICON option ?? Also I see sometimes VPC used, other times docker used. What can one do with those?? Looking to do the following 1. a. How to configure internet access to R1 - where it grabs a private IP address from the router that the laptop is connected to via ethernet cable). I am thinking it may have have something to do with adapters?? 1 b. If I setup another router as an internet connected router (albeit with a private Ip address) how do I simulate a local router and remote router if they get their source from the same connection via my laptop?? 2. how do i connect winbox on my laptop to R1 (and how to use Romon to connect to R2 and R3 behind R1)?

Hi Alex, To get R1 to get internet access and to be able to connect to it via Winbox you just need to add a new "Network" node in EVE-NG and select the Management(Cloud0) node and connect R1 to this. You will be able to breakout via a NATTED address on R1 to the internet using your laptop as a router and access things with Winbox and Romon.

@@TheNetworkBerg Hi, I dont understand this process. I tried GNS3 for a day or two, and there was a clear process on how to a. connect to the laptop for winbox and b. connect to the dhcp server that the laptop is also using to get a private IP (aka like the vlan the laptop is on is an ISP provider). The mechanics seem simple to you because you have been doing it without thinking for so long. However for others this is daunting. I am stuck on the adapters natted and host as thats where maybe I am going wrong and its probably because I dont understand their impact on the functionality.

@@TheNetworkBerg Ahmad Ali, has the holy grail of answers in his EVE series of lectures 3 on youtube and lesson 9 has a preview where he clearly lays out how the Management Cloud and Clouds 1-9 match directly to the adapters one has set in the EVE-NG for CHR. I now have R1 working, and Romon working great.

@@Anavllama I have explained in the comments that this is what you need to do, if you watch this earliest video of mine on EVE-NG I explain it in the video as well. kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5WziHSIntengZo

@@TheNetworkBerg Too funny, I had reviewed that particular video, hoping it would answer my questions but it did not. It was not adequate and not particularly accurate or useful regarding cloud and adapters. Ahmad Ali, covered it properly. Most other areas covered in your videos are excellent!

Really like your video, liked and subbed... However, i will really appreciate it if you can answer how to convert or make an incoming LAN (eg; 192.168.1.20/24 without a VLAN ID) to a VLAN and add it to your trunk in mikrotik. The way of doing it in cisco seems easier and clear but not in mikrotik. Thanks for your swift and concise response and God bless.

Bakare it depends, on what type of vlan setup you have in RoS. If you are using the newer bridge vlan filtering its quite easy, just identify the VLAN, with interface being the bridge. On bridge port identify which port its coming in on, and the definition line for the port should have ingress-filtering=yes, frame-types-allowed=priority-and-untagged and PVID set to the vlan number you wish to assign to the incoming traffic for destinations elsewhere on the router. Lets say its vlan66 on ether5. add bridge=bridge interface=ether5 pvid=66 etc.......... The next step is to ensure bridge vlans are setup properly. RoS automatically assigns the untagged entries due to pvid settings on bridge ports so thats effectively done. If lets say you wanted to send vlan66 through ether2 ( a trunk port ) it would look like add bridge=bridge tagged=bridge,ether2 untagged=ether5 vlan-ids=66 Note: the untagged portion is optional as I stated its dynamically created on the fly by RoS. I prefer to manually insert it so its visible on an export of the config.
