Getting Started: MikroTik VLAN Configuration

This video is aimed at teaching new users to MikroTik how to configure VLANs on RouterOS. This is NOT required for the MTCNA, however this is a REQUIRED skill for any network engineer/administrator in their day-to-day life.

Great to see you're back at making content, and I'm also interested in the relationship between VLAN's and bridges, so I'll wait for that video. Thanks again

You keep knocking it out of the park with quality content covering Mikrotik.

Thank you so much for posting this video. I understand Vlans but couldn't see how to set them up.

Just picked up an RB5009 for my home network, it's a steep learning curve! Ultimately I want to set up a VLAN connection between my VDSL modem and the router for WAN, since the physical interface connecting them is shared by one of my APs, this was helpful.

Super clear and simple to understand! Many thanks!

Again another great and informative video on VLANs. Thanks!

One more great video about networking.
Best regards.

I'm glad to see you! Thanks for the new knowledge! but I have a question about vlan!

[DaveFamalam]

Thanks for this great intro - much appreciated!

Thank you so much for the help. I was trying to get this done with a Aruba Switch for a while but didn't find the time. Now its seems to be pulling the proper Ip adress from DHCP. thanks again

Being fairly new to Mikrotik I am impressed by your pleasant presentation to teaching Mikrotik Setup

[kmsbismarck]

very good video! i am watching the entire playlist and practicing everytime!

You should always "talk about Cisco when showcasing MikroTik". It's important to see how different brands interact in a production ecosystem. It's been the exception rather than the rule (in my experience) to have a company only use one brand. It's usually something along the lines of MikroTik Routers, Cisco Switches, and Ruckus/Ubiquiti/Juniper access points all in the same building.

Thank you for the helpful videos! Tomorrow I'll be doing my first VLAN deployment with Mikrotik RB4011 and CRS switches.

It would be interesting if you could add an explanation about the /bridge interface vlans. It has been quite tricky for confusing for me.

Really appreciate your excellent content on things Mikrotik.

I have the Mikrotik RB4011 and CRS328 and wish to set up multiple VLANs.

After watching so many videos and reading so many forums etc, I am still not sure whether it's best to create the VLANs on the switch or router (as both have RouterOS) - my gut tells me the switch, with the router 'just' doing Firewall and interVLAN routing as required.

Appreciate your thoughts.
Many thanks.

Thank you for your great work, which you bring to us with your channel. In case you have time and would like one day to prepare a lab, where you have ccr as a router, and crs3XX series with router OS on it which plays as a L2 device, and distribute vlans, to hypotetical hypervisors, that would be a great help, as they slightly differs within it's configuration between series of CRS1XX, CRS2XX and 3XX, which is quite confusing to grasp for a begginer like me. Thx again !

explained nicely. I have two DSL connections which i want to send over a single wireless link and segregate at the receiving end. How can i achieve this using two RB450s which i have.? I somehow got the idea from your video that i need to create two VLANs for the two connections but how do i create a trunk port to carry both those VLANs on mikrotik ??? Please guide me. thanks

[nadiralazzabi]

Im keep asking myself same question with trying and keep trying to acheive it .
How to make egrees traffic for specific port untagged and same as ingrees to become tagged in bridged vlan ??

[premvinod]

Could we use any mikrotik switch as olt like fiber optical pon power out ?

[pieceworkstudios]

Hi, you're videos are very well done. I know this is an older one but I have a MikroTik Cloud Router/Switch that I want to have act as a pass through distro switch, as in- it accepts two LAN inputs from my Cisco MX firewall, and will pass data from those two LANS onto the respective ports going to my access switches say top row is vlan 100 and bottom row is 200 etc. but without running DHCP since the firewall is handling it. It seems it has to be set up to divy out DHCP but I'm hoping I'm just missing something. I would just plug the access switches directly into the MX but there aren't enough ports. Would you point me to a video that explains that if it is possible? Thx in advance
