I am wanting to learn more about mikrotiks and I am wanting to use it as my core router at my house.
My devices connect to a ubiquiti edge router that functions as a switch and trunks to my core router ( all packets tagged).
On the Mikrotik I created the vlans under the bridge interface, gave the vlans IP address and created DHCP scopes for the vlans.
However, for some reason I’m not able to connect to the mikrotik with winbox once I put it in the core of my network.
I can’t connect via MAC address or IP…
strangely enough I am able to pull an IP and I am able to access the internet…
any help would be appreciated.

It is not clear ( no diagram) what your network looks like, how the Mikrotik or where the Mikrotik fits, where is the ISP… etc etc.
For vlans
This is the best guide → http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/using-routeros-to-vlan-your-network/126489/1

it isn’t anything to crazy of a network.
ISP Modem ↔ Mikrotik <–trunk–> edgerouter <–Acess port–> Desktop
the vlan gateway is on the mikrotik, edgerouter has the vlans on it and acts as a swtich.

Then the guide provided is excellent and all you need is one port from the MT to one port on the Edge (both trunk ports carrying all the VLANs).
One port from the MT to one port on the Edge is all that is required, given that both trunk ports are responsible for carrying all of the VLANs.
