VLAN setup

RouterOS Beginner Basics

Hello people,

I’m a new user when it comes to MicroTik. I’m using an RB2011L-IN and i want to setup one VLAN for my guest network. I am working on this for a couple of days now but I do not manage to get this work so i hope someone can help me out.

This is my (very simple) setup:

ether1 - WAN
one bridge with ether2 up to ether10 (default LAN)

On ether4 and ether5 i have a UniFi access point (each port 1 AP) with 2 SSID`s: LAN and GUEST.

I would like to create one tagged VLAN for the GUEST network. So ether4 and ether5 have two networks, the default LAN and the VLAN for the guests.

On the forum and other sites i read a lot about creating bridges for VLANs, but i cannot add one port to more bridges, so can someone explain how to realize this?

If it’s just really guest wifi only, you won’t need another bridge for the vlan.
Create a vlan interface and bind it to your bridge:

/interface vlan
add name=vGuest vlan-id=666 interface=bridge-local arp=enabled

Add IP address and DHCP-server on that vlan interface.
Done.

Thanks for your quick response! I thought I already tried that but in the meanwhile had tried so many options that i don’t even know for sure.

I will try this and will come back to you.

Add only the VLANs to the bridge, not the physical ports on witch the vlan’s are configured or else it will create a loop.
