Hi guys, I need some help and advice from you. Imagine the scenario above. Every time I need to configure a VLAN from CCR to switch - 6, I have to enter each switch separately to configure this specific VLAN. Is there any way to make this easier? The bridge’s port-extended was removed from version 7.18, so I won’t be using it. So if you have any tips for me on how to do this, let me know. Each switch has more connections to clients or even other switches. Maybe Q-IN-Q?

MVRP
Multiple VLAN Registration protocol (MVRP) is a protocol based on Multiple Registration Protocol (MRP) which allows to register attributes (VLAN IDs in case of MVRP) with other members of Bridged LAN. An MRP application can make or withdraw declarations of attributes which result in registration or leaving of those attributes with other MRP participants.

Interface lists in VLAN table
Starting from RouterOS version 7.17, you can use interface lists for the tagged and untagged properties in the bridge VLAN table. This change allows for more flexible VLAN assignment to ports by simply modifying the interface list members, rather than updating each bridge VLAN entry individually.
If different interface lists are specified for the tagged and untagged settings, and there is overlap between the interface members, the untagged list will take priority. You can check the current interface configuration with current-tagged and current-untagged properties using the print command.
Below is an example where new interfaces are added to already existing interface lists. This shows how the bridge port and VLAN tables are automatically updated without directly changing settings in those menus.
