Best approach to VLAN

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

Hi there,

I’m moving my home network from DD-WRT to an RB3011.

Currently my home network has 3 VLAN:

  • VLAN4 - Local 192.168.2.x


  • VLAN10 - IoT 192.168.10.x


  • VLAN20 - Guest 192.168.20.x

Some port on the RouterBoard will be trunk port and other poter will be untagged.

On my RouterBoard I added 3 bridges (one for each VLAN), added address for each bridge and add 3 DHCP servers.

I read some documentation that show how to manage VLAN with only one Bridge and the add the ports and VLAN.

Which is the best approach? Use 3 differente bridges or only one bridge?

Thank you in advance for the help.
