Hi,
I have manged to implement VPLS link between two different Mikrotik routers. Now, i need to be able to pass VLAN tagged traffic in addition to native VLAN traffic. I have tried multiple configuration but it didn’t work. Could any one recommend the correct steps and configuration for achieving this?
Thanks in advance.

You will add vlans the same way as you would with other interfaces.
Post your attempt with vlan config here and we can see where you going wrong and can try and assist you
The default layer 2 MTU of a VPLS tunnel is 1500 which is too small to admit a VLAN tag with a full size packet. You’ll need to increase your advertised L2MTU to at least 1504 from 1500.
I have already done this and here is the VPLS interface,
0 DB name=“vpls21” mtu=1500 l2mtu=1550 mac-address=02:2B:05:71:1C:78 arp=enabled
arp-timeout=auto disable-running-check=no remote-peer=10.20.1.2 cisco-style=no
cisco-style-id=0 advertised-l2mtu=1550 pw-type=raw-ethernet
use-control-word=yes vpls=MGMT-VPLS
Connection should be as the following, Server > Mikrotik CCR1036 > VPLS > Mikrotik CCR2004 > Server.
I am trying to make both server communicate through VLAN "2". I have added the VLAN and allowed it through the port towards the server and through VPLS link.
I have bridged both VPLS and Server's port as well.
Flags: X - disabled, R - running
1 R Server-2 1500 enabled 2 ether4
2 VPLS 1500 enabled 2 vpls21
3 Bridge-VLAN 1500 enabled 2 MGMT
You are using BGP signaled VPLS, these VPLS interfaces are created dynamically which makes assigning Vlans difficult as the VPLS interface will change as and when router reboots, etc.
I don’t know if there is a solution to this, have not worked much with BGP signaled VPLS

Thank you for your feedback.
Can i know how to setup it at least? I will deal with VPLS tunnel changing after rebooting
Mikrotik Wiki Article on Bridge Vlan:

Herewith a good tutorial from a forum member:

If you want to pass all VLANs like a trunk over VPLS without specifying each VLAN, here is a blog article I wrote with config examples on how to use S-Tag for this.
Thank you
