Are you using your RouterBoard as a switch or a router / gateway?

You just add the VLAN to the appropriate interface. This is Linux however, and is a router not a switch. It handles VLANs just like Linux does. Each VLAN as you add it is it's own separate physical interface as far as the routerboard is concerned, all traffic leaving that interface will have the appropriate tag and all traffic coming into must have the appropriate tag, there is no in between with it. So whatever device(s) you have connected to that interface need to be able to read VLANs for it to work.

You can bridge a vlan and a non-vlan interface together though, to add/strip tags between the two interfaces. Or bridge vlans from different interfaces together to change a vlan tag. (i.e. inbound packet with tag 10 on ether1 can leave ether2 untagged, or with tag 11).

You could set up ether1 with a bunch of vlans, and fan them out to other, separate ports. so you can do trunking as long as you don't need to mix tagged and untagged on the same port.
