Transparente Bridge Englisch

Transparently Bridge two Networks using MPLS

Applies to RouterOS: v3, v4+
Overview
This a very basic example how to enable MPLS, establish VPLS tunnel between two wireless links and
use it to transparently bridge two networks.
There are several other ways to create this type of setup:
Bridge using WDS
Bridge using EoIP
The MPLS/VPLS approach has some advantages:
VPLS tunnel is about 60% faster and less overhead than EoIP tunnel
802.11n speed is limited over WDS bridges, this method doesn't have such limitations
Configuration
Let us assume the following network setup:
Note: For this setup to work in RouterOS 3.x, routing and mpls-test package must be installed. These features are
included by default in 4.x.
AP
# --configure wireless access point-/interface wireless
set wlan1 disabled=no ssid=MPLS frequency=5180 band=5ghz mode=bridge
# --configure IP-/ip address
add address=172.16.0.1/30 interface=wlan1
# --enable LDP-/mpls ldp
set enabled=yes lsr-id=172.16.0.1 transport-address=172.16.0.1
/mpls ldp interface

add interface=wlan1
# --configure VPLS tunnel-/interface vpls
add name=vpls1 remote-peer=172.16.0.2 vpls-id=1:1 disabled=no
# --add bridge and bridge ports -/interface bridge add name=bridge1
/interface bridge port
add bridge=bridge1 interface=ether1
add bridge=bridge1 interface=vpls1
station
set wlan1 disabled=no ssid=MPLS band=5ghz mode=station
/mpls ldp interface
add interface=wlan1
Confirm that LDP is running
[admin@MikroTik] /mpls ldp neighbor> print

Confirm that VPLS tunnel is established:

[admin@MikroTik] /interface vpls> monitor vpls1 once
remote-label: 17
local-label: 18
remote-status:
transport-nexthop: 172.16.0.2
imposed-labels: 17
Connect more stations to the same Bridge
It is possibile to connect more than one Station to the same Bridge, simply creating more VPLS tunnels (one for
Station):
AP
# --change wireless access point mode to AP Bridge-/interface wireless
set wlan1 mode=ap-bridge
# --configure second VPLS tunnel-/interface vpls
# --add vpls2 to bridge -/interface bridge port
2nd Station
set wlan1 disabled=no ssid=MPLS band=5ghz mode=station
/mpls ldp interface
add interface=wlan1

MTU
When router encapsulates Ethernet frame to forward over VPLS pseudowire, it checks if packet size + VPLS CW +
MPLS labels exceeds MPLS MTU of outgoing interface. If it does, VPLS will fragment frame. In this example
1514byte layer2 packets are forwarded over VPLS, router adds CW (4bytes) and one MPLS tag (4bytes) it means
that to avoid fragmentation MPLS MTU must be increased to 1522
/mpls interface set 0 mpls-mtu=1522
