Beginner Basics • Re: Assign ethernet port to existing VLAN

Working now. Here's my update:

1) I studied the link provided by gigabyte091. This was helpful and led to 'port based VLAN on CRS125 examples'
https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:C ... Based_VLAN

2) The information here has to be entered from the command line. You cannot access ethernet / switch / ingress-vlan-translation from WinBox.

3) This all worked, and I could access the device VLAN30 device plugged into this router port.

3) If you enter the last step 'unknown/invalid VLAN filtering', You lose access to the trunk port (ether2 in the example). This was a clearly a stupid moment for me, and won't be my last!

Thanks to all for your help! After this, I went back to the CSS326 to understand better what I did there. I found a port based VLAN example in the WiKi.
https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/SWOS/CSS326-VLAN-Example

Here's what I found:

1) Initially, starting with all switch defaults, and working at the VLAN tab, I set the default to VLAN 30. That's all I did and it did work. I could access the device on VLAN30.

2) following steps 2 and 3 in the example, I populated the VLAN table, and set the VLAN mode as instructed. This did not work. Couldn't access the device on VLAN 30.

3) I tried just using step 2, identifying the VLAN memberships for the VLAN and trunk port. This did not work.

There's likely more to switch OS that I need to study, But frankly, now that I can do port based VLAN in RouterOS, I think I'm done. I'll sell the CSS326 on eBay.

Thanks for all the help, and minimal snarkiness.

Regards,
Dave
