  • VLAN Routing Configuration between MikroTik RouterOS

    VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) is a logical topology that divides a single broadcast domain into multiple broadcast domains. It increases network security and performance as well as improves network efficiency. MikroTik VLAN routing configuration with manageable switch was discussed in previous article. Today we will learn how to configure VLAN between MikroTik RouterOS. This Router to router VLAN (layer3 VLAN) is useful when any ISP provide connection to one or more local ISPs who use MikroTik Router to maintain their LAN users. Network Diagram To configure VLAN between MikroTik RouterOS, I am following a network diagram like the below image.

So, if there is a hub between Routers, then from Layer3 point of view it is the same as an Ethernet cable connection between them. Ether2 has two VLANs (VLAN 10 having IP address 172.22.2.1/30 and VLAN 20 having IP address 172.22.2.5/30). Ether1 port of Client RouterOS1 is connected to the Ethernet Hub.
