Mikrotik router & Cisco Switch VLANs

RouterOS General
1

Hi.i have a Mikrotik 750G that has 5 ports.The ports are allocated like:

  • eth1:Internet provider


  • eth2:Subnet 192.168.2.0/24


  • eth3:Subnet 192.168.3.0/24


  • eth4:Subnet 192.168.4.0/24


  • eth5:Subnet 192.168.5.0/24

I would like to have 5 more ethernet ports so i could assign 2 to the new internet providers and the rest to different subnets. Each subnet is in a different vlan. I have a spare Cisco switch 24 port Catalyst and i was thinking to have the following setup:
Router

  • eth1: Internet provider 1


  • eth2: Internet provider 2


  • eth3: Internet provider 3


  • eth4: Trunk port to Switch

Switch

  • eth0:Trunk to router


  • eth1:Vlan1


  • eth2:Vlan2


  • eth22:Vlan22

The trunk configuration is done in the switch and the Vlans.
I am confused on how to set the router to have a trunk port to switch

Sounds like a reasonable thing to do.
As per the article,
one bridge
create vlans with interface bridge
each vlans gets IP address, pool, dhcp server, dhcp server network
assign interface bridge ports
assign interface bridge vlans

Ensure you have one trusted or managed vlan (typically the one the admin uses all the time) as this will act as the base vlan and the cisco switch should get an IP address from this subnet.
Good luck and will be here when you post your config for additional help
