MikroTik Router VLAN Configuration Segmentation Made Easy

Hey y'all!

Today we're talking about configuring VLAN and Bridge on MikroTik. This can seem daunting at first, but don't worry - we've got you covered!

First, what is VLAN?

VLAN stands for Virtual Local Area Network, which is a way to create separate and isolated network segments within a larger network. VLANs allow for more efficient use of network resources and increased security by limiting access to specific segments.

Now, let's configure VLAN on MikroTik:

1. Open Winbox and connect to your MikroTik router.
2. Select "Bridge" from the left-hand menu and click the plus sign to create a new bridge.
3. Give your bridge a name and click "OK".
4. Select the "Ports" tab and add the interfaces you want to include in your bridge by clicking the plus sign and selecting them from the list.
5. Click "Apply" and then "OK" to save your changes.
6. Now, select "VLAN" from the left-hand menu and click the plus sign to create a new VLAN.
7. Give your VLAN a name and ID, and select the bridge you created earlier as the interface.
8. Add any additional ports to your VLAN by selecting the "Ports" tab and clicking the plus sign to add them.
9. Click "Apply" and then "OK" to save your changes.
10. Finally, enable VLAN tagging on your switch ports by selecting "Interfaces" from the left-hand menu and opening the settings for each port. Under "VLAN", select the VLAN you just created and click "Apply".

Next, let's configure Bridge on MikroTik:

1. Open Winbox and connect to your MikroTik router.
2. Select "Bridge" from the left-hand menu and click the plus sign to create a new bridge.
3. Give your bridge a name and click "OK".
4. Select the "Ports" tab and add the interfaces you want to include in your bridge by clicking the plus sign and selecting them from the list.
5. Click "Apply" and then "OK" to save your changes.

That's it! Configuring VLAN and Bridge on MikroTik is a great way to optimize your network and increase security. If you have any questions or need further assistance, feel free to reach out to us.
