    can you explain how does that vlan 50 work? how does switch logic know to use vlan 50 to recieve communication from other switch, it isn't set anywhere else

    Very nice video!!! Very close to what I am looking for. Is it possible that you can do another one but having the Layer 3 on the CRS3xx switches instead of the RB4011? I am thinking to have VRRP configured on each VLAN pointing to the CRS3xx switches and have a script to enable / disable DHCP if the primary switch is down. I understand that the L3HW Offload is not supported still on this configuration!

    Thanks for the great walkthrough. I really enjoyed it. You mentioned that for a proper HA setup the switches in the distribution layer should get cross-connected to an additional router. How would you configure this?

    great content, very helpful. if i may submit a video request: VRRP with mikrotik! i’ve yet to find much in-depth writeups or videos on this topic. also somewhat related: possible strategies for multi-gateway/dual-wan - i can’t imagine this is a common config but maybe there’s some knowledge you can share regarding it. cheers 🎉

    How do I add vlans for devices that are only connected to ONE switch and not part of an MLAG grouping on the two switches? Do I add the same vlan on both switches? Do, I also add the MLAG iccp interface to that Vlan on both switches?

    Hi, just follow the same process than Vlan 100 (the untagged vlan 100 is not part of MLAG). You can have regular access and trunk interfaces.

    With this setup , if I was to add 3 more CCR2004 to be my edge switches , would I use a different MLAN ID for each of those 3 additional switches , or would they also be setup with MLAG ID 5?

    Thank you for the quick reply, I understand that , what I meant is following your Lab , if I was to add 3 additional edge devices like the single device you have in your video connected to the PC , would I need to make 3 additional MLAG ID on the CRS326 side for each of the additional units I add to the edge layer? This is for the 3 additional Bonded interfaces that I would be creating on the CRS326 units to accomodate the additional 3 edge units , "if that makes sense 🙂"@@TheNetworkTrip

    Got it! Your are correct! They will be new bonding interfaces, and they will require a new ID each.

    Hello! If you need to upgrade a device, it must be rebooted. This means that traffic will only flow through the available switches.
