I have a MikroTik hAP ac lite Dual (RB952Ui-5ac2nD-US). I have successfully connected a Rocket M5 to port 5 and it shows up as a DtD connection. What if I wanted to add another Rocket M5 or a PowerBeam to it? Can I connect it (through a PoE injector) to one of the other LAN ports on the hAP?
Thanks

The only port on the hAP that 'speaks' DtD is port 5. If you want to run mulitple nodes off that port, you'll have to use an external VLAN-aware switch. That's what I do; I have a Ubiquiti 5 port ToughSwitch at the base of my tower.

Actually it does not need to be a VLAN aware switch. A dumb switch will happily pass VLAN traffic. It will come in with a VLAN header and will leave with the same VLAN header.
