We'll dive deep into the world of network redundancy with MikroTik switches! Join us as we explore Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) and Multi-Chassis Link Aggregation Group (MLAG) through hands-on experimentation with physical devices.
Our step-by-step lab walkthrough ensures you grasp the concepts and practicalities of LACP and MLAG, enabling you to implement them confidently in your network infrastructure. We'll cover everything, from initial configuration to testing, providing a clear understanding of these essential networking technologies.
Whether you're a seasoned network professional or just starting, this video equips you with the knowledge and skills needed to enhance network performance, reliability, and resilience. Join us for real-world tests from a client end device, and learn how these technologies can revolutionize your network architecture.

Have you implemented MLAG before?
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
@@biki1973 RouterOS looks for the untagged vlan-id on the peer port
Very good explications. Congrats
Like always, outstanding tech approach with Wilmer Almazan.💪🏻💪🏻
Thank you Freddy!
I was able to set up between two CRS518 and three CRS312 😀
Very good video. Perfect explanation.
Thanks!
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!
I spent 2 hours watching this Video and i know that you spent alot more to create such a wounderful content.! so very very thanksful for your effort MR. Wilmer. I genuinely appreciate every moment in it ..! 🙏🌷.
now i would like to ask you about the different between L3 hardware offloading and L2 hardware offloading..?
Thanks!!
By the way, the first video about about Firewall rules will come on October 30th!
Nicel tutorial ❤ well explained
Thanks!
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 🎉
Great suggestion! I’ll add them to my upcoming video list.
Well done! Do you get line rates with mlag? have you tested the throughput ?
Netowrk Trip i learnt OSPF from zero to hero from you . and that means a great deal to me . but please can you do a vidoe on slaac ,dhcpv6 and static routing on ipv6 using mikrotik . there are no much vidoe of miktrotik using IPV6 address purelly . the world is moving toward IPV6 !! sorry we are asking too much , but it would be pleasing ,if we could see IPV6 soley on mikotik .
Hello!
I’ll have 4-5 videos about IPv6. The first one will come on Nov 01st.
@@TheNetworkTrip thanks in advance. I know you will do a good job 👍
@@TheNetworkTriphi Wilmer pls reminder for ipv6 on Mikrotik
Saludos Ingeniero. Cuál es la diferencia entre RSTP y Bondig Active Backup? Saludos y gracias
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.
Hi Wilmer, where did you find CRS326 image for GNS3?
Hi Marko,
There is no image for the CRS. I’m using physical devices on this video.
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?
Hello!
MLAG does not work in that model (CCR2004)
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.
Hi. Can you do non disruptive upgrades when using MLAG?
Hello!
If you need to upgrade a device, it must be rebooted. This means that traffic will only flow through the available switches.
@@TheNetworkTrip but when the versions mismatch (say, after the first switch is upgraded) will MLAG still work?
I followed all the steps and I get "not hw offloaded". I decided to disable hardware offloading on both switches but this error persist... Is there something missing in the lab?
Hello!
What model of switches are you using?

Mr.Wilmer how can we connect with you..? through your website..? i am struggling to find away to send you a messages .
Hello! You can contact me from www.linkedin.com/in/wilmeralmazan
Well but i don't have a premium version of linkedin, also i didn't find any highlited groub in your profile ..!@@TheNetworkTrip
