Have you configure VLANs on Mikrotik devices? Which switch models have you used?

In 30 minutes, I understood more than after watching a bunch of hours of training videos. thank you

This is the clearest explanation of VLANS I have seen. Thank you for taking the time to do such a thorough job!

One of the best and clearest tutorials I saw at the Internet. I am system administrator of a network with a 500+ wired devices + 2000+ wireless devices. I have almost every mikrotik model in my network, from hap lite to a CRS317 (95 routers totally). VLANS on mikrotik devices are a really pain in the ass, to say truth. So many different ways to configure on different devices, its just blows my head.

The best and most useful tutorial we are going to need for years to come !!!!

You are the greatest Mikrotik trainer I have come across in the past 15 years of using Mikrotik keep it up.

After many hours of watching youtube videos and reading tutorials about VLAN's and bridges, this is the first video that I was able to follow and make it all work. Thank you for the clearness of the explanation and the right pace for it. Thank you!

Where the heck has this been all of my life?! Seriously this has cleared up so many things about how to actually DO this on Mikrotik gear!

I"m also a Cisco guy, and purchased the CRS328 series a few years back. This is a complete and excellent guide for configuring VLANS on the Mikrotik CRS3XX. I'm using Port aggregation as well, and if you can create another video about that, I'm sure others besides myself would be ecstatic. Thank you for the informative guide. Job well done!

Great tutorial. The implementation of VLANs on Mikrotik have always confused me. this by far the clearest explanation I have found thus far.

this is the best Mikrotik VLan tutorial out there so far. Wish you would make more mikrotik video tutorials. Great stuff.

Needed a quick refresher. You were #1 rated video. Gave me what I needed, thank you!

Just WOW! So simple explanation how to deal with Mikrotik VLANs, bridge and a specially adjusting inter-VLAN communication with firewall. EXCELLENT JOB! Thanks!

Extremely useful, thank you so much for having shared this. I was searching around how to configure my Mikrotek (CRS-305) for several VLAN switch for hours and hours until I found your explanation... crystal clear. Now everything works as intended, solving a problem running for months. I followed your explanations, step by step et voila! If you want to play safe, detach the management interface (eth1 on CRS-305) from the bridge. After that, whatever mistake you do, you are not disconnected. Leave all 10G on the bridge.

This is most useful knowledge that I was looking for, I wish I can like it 1000 times. Thank you so much for this content.❤

I looked for how to set up VLAN on Mikrotik devices, and this is in my opinion best guide ever. Explained step by step how to reach the goal.

Thanks for posting this; very useful for getting my head around a different vendor implementation. One gotcha I discovered - in case it's useful for others - is that at 13:24 if you add the bridge interface as untagged for the management vlan instead of tagged, the IP address you assign to the Interfaces/Vlan interface is not reachable and when you then turn on vlan-filtering on the bridge, you lose all access to the device and (unless you have a serial cable) have to factory reset it by holding down the reset button until the "user" light flashes while turning on the box. If you assign an IP to a physical interface, it gives you a backup way to access it while you're testing this. You can remove it once you know the proper IP is accessible.

13:40 is a very important detail. Add the bridge itself to the management vlan. The lack of this step was driving me crazy as the switch was acting very erratic. Thanks for this video.

Thank you taking the time to explain how the Mikrotik 300 series works been scratching my head now for couple days trying to grasp concepts around how this switch handles VLANS, been watching variety of different videos which doesn't on this particular switch thanks once again.

Easily the best tutorial for configuring VLANs on Mikrotik switches. I wish I'd found this video weeks ago.

Sir, you have ended my search for the ultimate guide on how to configure my new RB4011 and CRS328 with VLANs!!! Subscribed and looking forward to all new material - after I watch all your other videos. Can't thank you enough. Greetings from Oz.

Thank you for your clear explanation about how MK works with inter-VLAN routing.

I´ve watched this tutorial everytime I setup a CRS now, each times helps to fresh up my memmory! Thanks :)

Your video is the most complete and accurate guide on this topic in youtube. I hope you publish more videos on related topics.

Thanks, Mr. Wilmer Almazan you literally saved me my job. This video really helped me get my network up and running. I remember your 5 steps really well. Thanks alot.

Great explanation of VLANs I would like to see more!

Just a quick point - if your device has a switch chip, you should be creating your VLANs there instead for full hardware speed. It is pretty easy to tell if you do, there is an extra menu item in the sidebar 'Switch', usually between 'PPP' and 'Mesh'.

This was totally amazing. I have watched many vlan videos and this was the best. One question, I am struggling with the concept of what a bridge is and why we need it.

Great and easy to follow and understand video on VLANs in the Mikrotik world.

thank thank you very much, it's a big advantage for us to know this technics about vlan, for future expansion of our network i will apply this method .....thank you very much and more power😊😊😊😊👍👍👍👍👍👍

Hey All, I loved this guide, it was truly the best, but its missing some context. The issue they wasn't obvious is that he is using native VLAN 1 in his VLAN filtering. This caused me a huge issue. The default VLAN wasn't allowed on router where I had the CRS310 ethernet 1 port plugged into. VLAN1 is the default on the MikroTik and was causing the switch to respond on the management port only, but not allow communication to any other device. I noticed some of the VLAN IDs were excluded, but I ended up tagging my bridge port that was trunking VLANs to the PVID I needed. Thank you Wilmer for your expertise, I wouldn't have had a clue where to start.

Master or the universe!!! Very good explain

best VLAN video on mikrotik

Buen trabajo Wilmer, es un orgullo tener trainers hispanos que apuesten por el mercado inglés también. 👍👍🇵🇦

Best, amazing and only one Who taught something that really worked for what i need

Sir, I must say that this is the best of the best tutorial of Mikrotik VLAN I have ever seen. Using same scenario Could you please also let us know how we can assign an IP address to all the vlans on a CRS (not the management vlan) ?

Muchas gracias por el video. Me salvó la tanda. NO sabía que había diferencia entre tener 1 o varios bridge, y tenía un uso de CPU de 100%. Siguiendo estas instrucciones pasé a 20% de uso CPU. Un tico por acá. Gracias mae!

Thanks for the great tutorial. It would be great to talk about loopback protection and other steps that are used in practice when configuring access switches.

Thank you a lot! This video helped me to understand how make trunk ports from webfig/winbox on my crs310s.

Great job! Everything is very very clear now!

Just got here looking to properly understand VLANs the Mikrotik way, your channel is impressive! Do you have a video on how to configure VLANs in devices without a switch chip?

congratulations for the clarity of the toturial

Great work Wilmer! very clear explanation. Thank you very much!

VERY elucidative and straightforward tutorial.

Thank you so much! Mikrotik is soooo hard and counter-intuitive compared to OpenWRT's "switch" table :)

I just started watching and I really like your approach. You clearly stating what the plan is and doing it on the actual hardware. Subscribed and hoping you have more content

Best tutorial ever ! I shall add info on improvement with this config (since now been using separate bridges and vlan interfaces - but crs326-24s-2q+ made maximum 320 mbit/s throughput till 100% cpu) i need to achieve at least 0,9 gbit/s throughput via vian/1gbit/s sfp

this is it! straight to the point, thank you for your explanations. It works like a charm

Thank you so much for your tutorial. The BEST!!

Extending my thanks for explaining VLAN configurations this makes sense tried many other tutorials from youtube this one works the best everyone all other are complete jokes.

You are very proficient in your field.thank you for sharing.this helps a lot especially for people like me.

Omg.. I think I got it 😅 best explanation on KZfaq

I had turned the volume up to hear your voice and then about died of a heart attack at the end with the super loud logo roll.

Thanks for the video, I finally understood how to properly configure management vlan.

the best video on youtube found so far!

dude, this was very usefull and helps me a lot ! i switch my lab from cisco to mikrotik and your video was really awesome and exactely what i needed to know. :)

Good work, good explanation. Thanks a lot.

Great Guide, thank you!

Amazing Tutorial love it

To clarify 8:30: It's not just inefficient, but rather it disable hardware offloading. (inefficient is absolutely the correct word, but native English speakers use it much more casually) Also: Using the CLI makes this absolute cake.

Hola Wilmer, excelente tutorial, funciona perfectamente, solamente tuve un detalle al querer conectar dos switches (1 CRS328 y 1 CSS326) funcionan bien sobre puertos ethernet, pero no así en SFP+ (jumper, hay alguna configuración extra para poder hacer que funcionen sobre SFP+, saludos y gracias por los tutoriales que verdaderamente funcionan.

Gracias amigo me costó un poco porque no conseguí tutorial en español

wow good and clear explanation, thanks sir

Been playing a few hours today with a 4011 and a crs326. Got this working now. Now lets do all the other things :p (Lots of hours this take to learn :)

Very well explained sir! I would like to request OSPF+Vlan.. hope to include this in your videos

Great tutorial. Please include the cli commands in summary.

Really easy to follow and good explanation of your process !1 Good work !! Love it !

It's a very good explanation and gives an excellent way to configure VLANs. I'm in the process of testing this in the case of a trunk (uplink or downlink from another switch) when there is a bonding interface of two ethernet ports. I hope this same schema works with bonding.

de lo mejor q vi. Gracias

Wow awesome lessons

Great Video, thank you sir. Was able to create 2 SSID's on mikrotik ap and assign vlan to both using same config as what you have shown in switch configuration. Much appreciated.

Respect...You are good teacher ;)

Great video! The best explanation I've seen! I have a question. What do you use as a PC emulator?

crystal clear! thanks.

Qué modelo de laptop utilizas para virtualizar o que modelo recomendarías? Escritorio o laptop? Cual recomiendas utilizar SwitchOS o RouterOS cuál consideras más estable? En mi opinión RouterOS es más estable que SwitchOS. Buen video 👌 buena idea hacer este tipo de tutoriales ya que Mikrotik se complica mucho para configurar vlan a diferencia de otros fabricantes.

Thank you for this video!

sweet presentation

Good video - I have linked to this from one of my own Mikrotik videos.

This is a very good tutorial on VLANs on Mikrotik CR3XXX series. If you can help me please, I want to configure CRS3XXX switch so that its not Router-on-a-stick rather Inter VLAN routing in switch itself.

Superb stuff man thank you this is exactly what I needed

I just loved your way of explanation.. please do a lab on BGP Routing with multiple routing

Thank you very much. I needed it very much! Excellent explanation!

Hi! Congrats for the clarity & the professionalism of this video. Maybe a stupid question: is it possible to make "CRS326-1" perform the "Router" tasks (so merging those 2 devices)? At first sight, it is difficult since a vlan interface must be dedicated to a single port so it could be limitative...

excelente video, gracias inge

Great video, thanks! :)

Excellent and well explained

Great video that explains the complete setup process. Do you have a video about configuring a RB2011 with the 2 switch chips, and connecting router to vlans and connecting the vlans between the 2 switch chips? I cannot find a good video on how properly configure with the switch chips, CPU for ip access and cross chip vlan communication.

Superb vid, thanks man!

Very useful video

For the CRS part starting at minute 8:00 and filling in the /bridge port values, this is the time to enter in frame types admit priority and untagged and also to check ingress filtering.

Great tutorial. Mikrotik has a bit of a ...different workflow.

Perfect explanation. But question, what would Ingress Filtering in the bridge interface do? Would it just improve security a bit more?

Brilliant video, well done. Please may you do a Video on Capsman and Vlans, and another on Router Vlan configuration

Hi, Been following Your videos for some times and your explanation is great , Need some help Please Have three ISP lines with 60 MB each and I have 4 Mikrotiks (RB2011-Routerboard-AX2-AC3 Which is best to do Bonding or Vlans in Bond ? tried bonding but didnr get a good result . Im sure You know a good way of implemnting the right way to do it

Very good explaination video

Hi, first and foremost - thanks for this great video - as lots of the other comments state, this is high quality content. As I need to rework and dig a bit deeper in my local network I need to get an overview, so I need some tool to draw a map. Is the tool you used free? And what's the name? Besides that, are you planning on creating a tutorial on port forwarding AND hairpin NAT, so that ports published to the internet are also properly reachable from the internal network?

Muchas gracias por los videos! Muy buenos!

After receiving my CRS510, i was a bit overwhelmed when reading the RouterOS manual, glad i found your tutorial. One question, a 100GBit connection, consists of 4 25Gbit interfaces, do i need to add the vlans to each interface when setting up a 100Gbit trunk connection, or do i only need to setup the first interface of the set of 4?

Great video!! tnx man! This video finaly clear up so much in my head :)

excellent video. What software are you using to simulate or test the network?
