Hello everyone,
First of all, I am a self-taught Mikrotik user so forgive me for any silly mistakes, comment or description.
I have the following configuration of CRS109 and CRS125 at my disposal, with the following configuration.
I would like to segregate the traffic using VLAN, which described as red VLAN (including WLAN in the CRS109), green VLAN and purple VLAN with blue as Trunk port and yellow as admin port. I implemented the VLAN successfully, using the configuration greatly described by the following guide. viewtopic.php?t=143620
However, reading various guides on CRS1xx, I understand that implement VLAN inside the CRS1xx is best by utilizing switch VLAN rather than bridge VLAN as the bridge VLAN consumes higher CPU resources and might result in lower throughput. I have implemented the switch VLAN successfully if only for the Ethernet ports, but unfortunately I cannot make it work with the WLAN. I understand that the ethernet ports and the WLAN are on different hardware chips, but I would like to see if I can create VLAN in the above configuration by combining between bridge VLAN and switch VLAN? I tried to search but cannot find any resource that perfectly describe my use case. Will this configuration of bridge and switch VLAN be possible? Will it gives a better throughput and lower CPU utilization, or will it be very minimum improvement? Or is it because both hardware are not designed to be used in such configuration?
Appreciate very much for any input and advise given.
