Hi,

I'm having some issues with vlan configurations not being applied using the bridge functionality...

Normally everything is working as expected. I set up my vlans, I add some ports to the bridge, set pvid for the ports and set my tagged und untagged ports on the vlans, and it works as intended.

But sometimes it just doesn't apply the new configuration. Running interface bridge vlan print detail i can see that my changes are in the configuration, e.g. tagged=ether1, but it still says current-untagged=ether1 on that vlan and that is also how it's still behaving. I didn't find any way to force the configuration to being applied other than disabling the affected interface and reenabling it, which is okay(ish) for downlink ports, but deadly for the uplink port if inband management is used.

This becomes extremely problematic after disabling a vlan that is configured as pvid and tagged for some ports (quick question on the side: any way to add ports without and pvid?). The device just creates a new dynamic vlan, sets all those ports as untagged, and it's really hard to get rid of... I rebooted the switch to get everything sorted out...

I'm seeing this on a bunch of CRS317-1G-16S+ with current stable firmware, not sure if other devices are also affected.

Maybe I'm holding it wrong, is there some option to make routeros instantly apply my configuration to the hardware?

This one is not to bad either.

a port without pvid would be a port with tagged traffic -> trunk port

On https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Bridge_VLAN_Table doc says

PVID - The Port VLAN ID is used for access ports to tag all ingress traffic with a specific VLAN ID. A dynamic entry is added in the bridge VLAN table for every PVID used, the port is automatically added as an untagged port.

sounds like your behaviour

Well, the thing is... I know how it's supposed to work, and as I said, most of the time it does actually work correctly, just sometimes changing between tagged and untagged will not get applied until I disable and reenable the corresponding interface.

I'm definitively considering this as a bug.
If I see this happening again I'll try gathering as much details as possible and contact support about this.
I was just hoping that somebody might have seen this before and knows a better workaround or even a fix for this behavior.

good plan!
