VLANs for VoIP on Mikrotik

RouterOS General
1

I’ve searched the internet and can’t seem to find a straight answer / tutorial on setting up VLANs on Mikrotik that actually work (I’m not sure what I’m missing). I’m trying to setup 2 VLANs:

  1. VLAN1 for Data - let’s say 192.168.1.x
  2. VLAN10 for Voice Traffic (VoIP phones - and route to a hosted platform via a VPN) - let’s say 10.1.1.x

Then use MANGLE and QUEUES to prioritize the traffic.

I want to plug an ethernet cable from the Mikrotik - say ports #5, #6, and #7 to a VoIP phone, then from the VoIP phone to a PC. Using DHCP and OPTION 242, I want to move the VoIP phone to VLAN10 and leave the PC on VLAN1. I’ve found numerous articles on “Hybrid VLANS” but none seem to actually work. The Mikrotik Wiki shows how to put certain ports on different VLANS but doesn’t account for leaving anything on VLAN1 - (https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Interface/Bridge)

Anyone have a good setup for above that can share? This is really easy to do on Cisco and Adtran so I’m hoping I can do this with Mikrotiks too. Any help would be appreciated.

First of all… don’t use Vlan1 cause it’s mostly used for the switch or Router itself (management).
Better to use Vlan10 & Vlan20.
Generally It’s easier to use a switch (CRS326)…
First on the router you make a Trunk port to the Switch.
On the switch on the ports where you have to put the Vlan to connect PC or Phone you must set the port to tagged for vlans & untagged for the vlan that you want to connect your device too.
This is than the default Vlan.

Just to add don’t forget to upgrade your ROS and enable Vlan filtering on your bridge.
