Thank you Druvis, I used these instructions to setup LHG LTE18 + hAP ax3 for my parents, in a remote location. They've been using it for ~2 weeks, works like a charm - they went from ~2-2.5 Mbps on a modern phone, to 70 Mbps on LHG(the pole is very short but they are happy with the stability and speed).
This is excellent stuff. I recall setting up an ADSL2 "router" in bridge mode so that my RB3011 was doing all of the routing and PPPoE, but with a management IP address on the same physical connection. Anything but Mikrotik it would have been a pain to set up (or learn to set up). This is why I use Mikrotik; no matter what I need to do, it can probably do it. Ergo, I only need to know one platform - Mikrotik.
This is exactly the idea that popped out of my head while I am watching the Part 1 of this series, use VLANs to separate management traffic from Internet traffic.
Nvm, I guess I figured it out. Because there are no defined vlans in /interface/bridge/vlan/ through which You'd asign more complex tagged vlans for further switch trunks, thus there are no use for vlan filtering in bridge. Right?
Neither of those devices are switches and, hence, do not have advanced switch chips that could take advantage of the CPU sparing vlan-filtering. Even if you configured vlan-filtering, the CPU would still be used for processing.
@MikroTik Is it intentional the DHCP lease time when using passthrough is *only* 1 minute? And the value for the DHCP lease from the LTE device to the device behind (receiving the passthrough) is *non-adjustable* ? 😕
Personally, I do not see a problem with the DHCP lease time defaults to 1 minute. Thou I would *highly prefer* the default DHCP lease time being *configurable* for the lease given to the device "receiving" the LTE passthrough.
@@mikrotik Ah. Initially thought a HW switched IP adresses was used for 1:1 Network Address Translation on the LHGG. Since i noted the existence of a /32 v4 address in IP > Addresses. Tried using Mangle Rule > Action sniff TZSP on the lte1 interface to see DHCP packets. No luck. I presume it is not possible to make a copy of packets sent+received by the modem to the connected LTE Cell Tower?
This question also came about. Due to noting the DHCP client (in passthrough mode) will receive a NTP server IP of of the LHGG's static NTP Server (/system/ntp/client/print > servers). Even when the LHGG does not have System > NTP Server enabled.
No, you can absolutely do that. It has a powerful CPU and can do everything you need to do. Druvis example is for those that absolutely want another router as their main gateway, for reasons
I’m a bit confused. Wouldn’t the same effect be found by using RoMon on both devices? That way you could log into the LTE device via the router? Or am I missing something?
@@mikrotik last question, if the operator allows it, is it possible to put the same APN names multiple times to work simultaneously to get multiple IP addresses?
Hi excellent video!!!Just a question please? I have 2 apn profiles that isp gave to me with 2 differents public ips. Is it possible to use both for LTE passthrought mode? Thank you
@@RB01-lite I mean passthrought mode in compination for these 2 (apn) lte interfaces. I try for this it gave me from isp the second ip address but in new LTE interface there is not "R" running.
@@jokar70 You should specify a passthrough interface for each APN individually and then set both APNs for a single LTE interface. If that doesn't work, write to mikrotik support.
I really wish these 2 lte videos about setup used the GUI rather than the terminal, or even both doing the same thing.

Your timing couldn't be better. I am working on a similar project currently. Thank you!

Great video, but how comes, that VLAN filtering is not switched on for both bridges - on SXT and HAP?
Nvm, I guess I figured it out. Because there are no defined vlans in /interface/bridge/vlan/ through which You'd asign more complex tagged vlans for further switch trunks, thus there are no use for vlan filtering in bridge. Right?
Neither of those devices are switches and, hence, do not have advanced switch chips that could take advantage of the CPU sparing vlan-filtering. Even if you configured vlan-filtering, the CPU would still be used for processing.
Just wanted to add - this doesn't work on RBM33G and RBM11G if connecting to a WAN that is not Mikrotik

That IP is received from your operator on their terms.

Very good example! I like it :)
Is there any big performance issue if I just set the lhg as a router, with rules and such, but just let my router grab an address from it?
No, you can absolutely do that. It has a powerful CPU and can do everything you need to do. Druvis example is for those that absolutely want another router as their main gateway, for reasons
I’m a bit confused. Wouldn’t the same effect be found by using RoMon on both devices? That way you could log into the LTE device via the router? Or am I missing something?
For simple access you can use RoMON instead, but then the LHG will have no internet connection of its own.
I have a ask, is posible to get more than one IPv4 using LTE interface on passthoug, maybe using VRRP interfaces or using DHCP relay or similar?
You could use two APN names - one for each IP. Of course, if your operator allows for that.

Yes, just make separate vlans. Alternatively, you could use the second one for internet access in the LTE device.
