MikroTik VLAN and Bridge Configuration
VLAN and Bridge are two useful features in MikroTik Router. These two features are frequently used in any MikroTik network configuration. VLAN divides a physical interface into multiple logical interfaces. So, you can isolate your network into multiple logical networks on a physical interface. On other hand, MikroTik Bridge integrates multiple physical interfaces in a logical interface. So, you can extend your broadcast domain on multiple physical interfaces and can extend your popular services such as PPPoE or DHCP on multiple physical interfaces. As VLAN and Bridge are useful to any MikroTik network, this article is designed to show the necessary steps to configure VLAN and Bridge in MikroTik Router. VLAN in MikroTik VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) is used to create multiple virtual LANs on a single physical interface. It is a layer 2 method that divides a single broadcast domain into multiple broadcast domains. So, proper VLAN planning can increase your network performance as well as network privacy. There are various situations when you need to create VLAN in your MikroTik router. For example, if your ISP provides your WAN connection through a VLAN, you have to create a VLAN on your WAN interface or if you need [...]
