Hello everyone!
I’m using Mikrotik routers couple years now, mostly for Wireless networks.
Its the first time that i want to connect a Mikrotik Managed switch with a managed Cisco Switch through a Trunk port and im having lots of trouble.
For Cisco is easy to configure but i cant say the same for Mikrotik.
I will explain my situation in detail with some screenshots and if you can please give me a hand..!

so here is the Cisco Interface in which i connected the Mikrotik:


simple stuff.
So on that interface i have connected my Eth1 Mikrotik Interface,
created the VLANS, added the to ports, created a Bridge port, added the Physical Port.
Then i assigned 2 IP addresses 1 for the Physical port in VLAN1 (which is the Native at Cisco) and 1 at port VLAN2 which have vlan ID:2
I checked that i can ping both IP’s, so my trunk works (i guess).
Then i want to assign different VLANs in the other switch ports, splitting them 4 ports for VLAN1 and the rest 4 for VLAN2 = Eth1,2,3,4 for VLAN1 and Eth5,6,7,8 for VLAN2.
I didn’t succeed on that… and also i have a Windows Server with DHCP service running with IP 192.168.1.8.
My DHCP is enabled only for VLAN2. I tried to set up the DHCP relay for the VLAN2 interface but it didnt worked…
I will place some photos from my configuration to realize better what im talking about so … im open to any suggestions and help! ![]()

Here this is a test… dont know if this works, added the VLAN ID’s in Switch

I set the Egress VLAN marking
