RB750GL: How do I add multiple non-IP'd interfaces to a VLAN

RouterOS Beginner Basics

Hello everyone,

I’ve been tasked with redesigning a totally flat school network. Currently, there’s no VLANs and every thing is on one /24. It’s scary :frowning:
There is a computer lab that I want to put behind a router and put in it’s own VLAN, so I got an RB750GL and a couple HP 1810-24G smart switches.

I’m no novice when it comes to networking, but I am totally new to RouterOS. My question is, how do I create a VLAN interface with an IP address and assign to it two or more physical interfaces that won’t have an IP?

Here’s a quick diagram I drew up:

VLAN30 only goes between the HP switches, the hosts, and the VLAN30 interface.
The hosts’ gateways should be a non-physical interface on the RB750 (x.x.30.1).

VLAN1 I’m not too sure about, because that’s where all my switches, routers, and mgmt workstations will be managed from. Do I make that untagged? Do I even need the VLAN1? Coming from a Cisco world, this is where a lot of my confusion comes from.
I know that traffic gets tagged on the egress only, so I don’t want to tag interface-2 going to the workstation… man I’m lost.

Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to get started with this? Possibly some examples configs :smiley:

Thank you,
Svenglar

Hi Plisken, thanks for the post. Unfortunately, after reading through, I still can’t figure out how to setup my network correctly.
The VLAN’ing in your guide is different than what I’m trying to do, I think.

Here’s another chart I made showing what I think I should do… How do I setup the multiple ports on one VLAN, and setup a virtual vlan interface with an IP address?
