HAving difficulty creating vlan

What version of routerOS do your run?
Its a change in how to make VLAN from ver 6.41

See my post here:

The last post show a working configuration.

You have old software Bridge <6.41
new software bridge >= 6.41 with vlan support in bridges.
And some MT devices support switch chip.
