Need help with vlans the new way.

Hi, i have a basic setup with 2 routers connected via vlans. I need help setting up the vlans using the new method. I am not really worried about the first router, its the second one i need help with. The following old style configuration works. Screenshots below: First router https://b.imge.to/2020...

Ok. Thanks for the info, we are currently seeing over 150 devices running these scripts. i am making a script to mass login and delete.

For anyone facing these issues, block access to service port inbound on your main gateway first.

Re: V6.43rc45 Switch Port Isolation

I had the same problem on a 960PGS. It seems that this must be a bug because you can still do it in hardware on some devices using Switch->Rule tab. On your device it is not supported at all so you are out of luck. Mikrotik needs to update which devices support these functions.
