Mastering VLAN Configuration on MikroTik, Step-by-Step Guide

Alice AUSTIN

Unlock the full potential of your network with our comprehensive guide on configuring VLANs on MikroTik routers and switches. Whether you’re a networking professional, a small business owner, or a tech enthusiast looking to enhance your network’s efficiency and security, this tutorial is tailored just for you.

In this video, we delve into the essentials of Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) and how they can segregate network traffic to improve performance and security. We’ll walk you through the process, step by step, demonstrating how to configure VLANs on MikroTik routers and switches effectively. By the end of this tutorial, you’ll be equipped with the knowledge to:

Understand the basics of VLANs and their importance in network management.
Set up inter-VLAN routing to facilitate communication between VLANs.
Implement best practices for network security and performance optimization.

What You’ll Learn:

VLAN fundamentals and benefits
Configuring VLAN settings on MikroTik RouterOS
Essential tips for troubleshooting common VLAN configuration issues

  • Now just to remember when and when NOT L3 HW offload happens. I wish I didn't have to remember….so more expensive L3 switches it is for me even for homelab.

  • are you experienced in taming scary monster living under /switch menu on crs1xx devices? (i'm not only talking about vlans)

  • Very nice video. Can you do a bandwidth test to see if wirespeed is achieved? To see when is used switchchip and cpu. A wrong layout can decrease speed and bottlenecking.

  • my plan is 1G I replace Huawei HG8240T5 Gpon with LXT-010S-H from LEOX and I'm install it in to Mikrotik RB5009
    from Mikrotik I setup Vlan10 and PPPoE for Internet and It's work and I got internet connection but I couldn't figure out how to configure Vlan30 for VoIP

  • Hey, it'sThe Network Barry 🙂

  • Very nice review…….. glad to you see join the 2020's in terms of single bridge vlan filtering, for most routers and CRS3xxx series. The main difference between vlans between device acting as a switch or router (besides the obvious) is that the managment vlan is the only that needs to be identified AND the only one tagged with the bridge in /interface bridge vlan settings.
    On a serious note, good to focus on AX3, a very common home device. However you have indirectly discovered your next video. Explaining why switches and the AX3, which dont have a classic marvel switch chip but something called PHYs.
    These need to be discussed so we folks understand what they are doing under the hood ( clearly they must help the CPU in some capacity ). A comparison would be fantastic!!!

  • I use VXLANs and just find them so much more efficient and simpler to work with. Is there still a reason why people do VLAN instead of VXLAN on modern equipment?

  • Why this is better solution?
    I have created separate bridges for Server, Management, LAN etc. and on interfaces I have created vlan to each ports separately

  • brilliant video understood exactly what you were doing. looking at getting a mikrotik network up and running I'm still using an edgerouter with an old hp switch and some ap's.

  • If you connect winbox using MAC address, make sure you set you Ethernet adaptor mtu to 1500. Otherwise, you will get kick out winbox. Something to keep in mind

  • Hey you do a really great job, but why you don't show to work in the CLI ? The cli is you last hope when all other is broken and most of the ppl are really lost if they dont know to handle it.

  • I believe if you create a bond interface with physical interfaces that belong to the same switch chip you will have a hardware offloaded bond and can be added to the bridge if needed. It is possible to create a bond interface with interfaces that belong to different switch chips then the that bond will be limited by the switch chip to CPU speed, the Mikrotik will let you do this without a warning so check the block diagrams for you use case.

  • Your small hint putting the bridge into bridge/vlan and don‘t add the software vlan into it in case of routing made my day. Never read this somewhere else. Thanks a lot

  • Hello, will there be a future video about the hybrid port/hybrid vlan on Mikrotik with an example?

  • Great content, nice and detailed.
    It's great to have content like this where you talk about best practices, dos and don'ts.
    Keep it coming

  • Good idea for video if possible, filter rules on switch chip itself. What I noticed a lot, people are buying CRS devices and use them as routers… Mikrotik is confusing their customers with that naming scheme. As you said, CPU is limited and thus routing performance is bad…

  • It would've been good if you explained why the single bridge per ASIC method exists. I.e. rooted in the original Linux DSA and switchdev implementation. People who haven't worked with cumulus or whiteboxes with a Linux based OS, often think this is exclusive to MikroTik.

  • thank you! one thing i was doing wrong, tagging the vlan as well as the bridge – it didnt show up as tagged with vlan filtering enabled; one more thing i learned is that i dont need software vlans (l3) if i dont plan to use dhcp or any other l3 service.

  • Glad to see more videos from you on 'tik.

  • I watched the video with morning breakfast ☕

  • My man the Berg never disappoints! Great vid! Another resource I can recommend struggling Mikrotik n00bs to. Keep them coming! Cheers!

  • and as always,great explanation.thanks for giving this much of efforts.
