Hi,
I try to configure a trunk port on a RB4011 as described here:
https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Basic_VLAN_switching#Other_devices_with_built-in_switch_chip
but the router complains when adding
/interface ethernet switch port
set ether1 vlan-mode=secure vlan-header=add-if-missing
What is the right way to setup a trunk port here?
Kind regards,
Skotti
From the document you posted:
Warning: Not all devices with a switch chip are capable of VLAN switching on a hardware level, check the supported features for each switch chip, the compatibility table can be found Here.
When you follow the “here” link:
You will see that RB4011 doesn’t support VLAN table, therefore you need to use this instruction
Ooops, I mixed up RB4xx with RB4011.
Thanks!
Check out this document as well. Its very good with examples.

Just for info, 4011 is not a good match for doing vlan switching/bridging/filtering as it all has to happen in software by cpu.
I am hoping with newer switch chips like my rb450gx4 and rb4011 that the extra CPU power and ram will allow MT to make HW offloading a reality for these newer product for …drum roll please…v7.0 LOL.
The RTL8367 switch chip doens’t even have vlan table… see https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Switch_Chip_Features#Introduction
So no hw offloading for vlans
Which means RB4011 is not suitable for non-trivial office setups and @anav
