VLAN tag WAN port

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1


The above settings are from my Zyxel router provided by my ISP.
I’m trying to VLAN tag 101 to the WAN (Internet PoE in) port. Have read manuals, how-tos, articles and what else I could find on Google, watched YouTube videos but all to no avail.
This has been an issue for me for the past 4 days trying to make it work so that I can get rid of the Zyxel router, it doesn’t have the features I want and need.
If someone here can explain to me how to achieve this feat or maybe even write out the commands I need to make it work, I’d be very grateful.
Been at it for hours these past 4 days and I’m now at my wits’ end.

Excerpt from my ISPs explanation:
“We use VLAN tagging to connect a router to our network. Therefore, it requires that the router you want to connect supports this. We send our traffic out on VLAN 101 and your router must then be VLAN-tagged to 101. In addition, it has to pull the IP address automatically via DHCP and then it should just work.”

Nothing else has been connected while trying to figure this out.

If more information is needed I’l happily provide it if need be

The easiest way in your case would be to add a VLAN interface on ether1 and use it in the DHCP client settings, perhaps even add it in the WAN interface list:

/interface vlan
add interface=ether1 name=VLAN-101 vlan-id=101

/ip dhcp-client
set interface=VLAN-101

/interface list member
add interface=VLAN-101 list=WAN

Same principle should apply for IPv6, but I’m not that proficient in it and don’t dare comment on it

Worked like a charm, thank you so much.
Sitting up till late at night fighting with this really had me bummed out for some days.

Edit: How do I mark this as solved?
