    I spent two nights, essentially breaking my network, going in circles, trying to achieve something so simple in hindsight! I had such weird anomolies when doing this, for example ping absolutely fine to hosts, but no TCP sessions would stay established, later on 20 packets reply, 20 drop, etc etc. All because of the way I created the vlans on the bridges, which I tried two different ways according to docs I read. Painful, but I got there now thanks to this!

    This it the best video I've seen on demystifying the vlan setup on mikrotiks (and I'd watch a lot previously to get my head around it), as other have said the little tip on not applying pvid filtering until you're done the rest - seems obvious, but so easy to click and watch winbox / putty disappear :D - I've gotten into the habit of 'safe moding' first. Have shared with a colleague who's dipping their toe in with Mikrotik (so he's spared the pain of watching about a dozen conflicting videos and then still locking himself out - to be fair, he's got form for it, mainly with prod linux servers :D ). Also the block diagram bit was a great bit of advice. Thanks as always.

    Man, thank you so much. First Mikrotik device, RB951 and was struggling with the nuance of the Mikrotik way of doing things over 2 very late nights and got my basic config working thanks to this video in 30minutes!!. Subscribed.

    Great content, nice and detailed. It's great to have content like this where you talk about best practices, dos and don'ts. Keep it coming
  • @cjnaumann
    I can't thank you enough for this video! I've been struggling with my configuration for almost a year, and you explained everything perfectly in this video.
  • @amcomma
    Amazing video, practical example of how to set up really helps with understanding the whole concept!
  • @lydianajihah2523
    and as always,great explanation.thanks for giving this much of efforts.
  • @walden_
    Glad to see more videos from you on 'tik.
  • @gunchag
    Great explanation as always!
  • @matthewbennett2844
    brilliant video understood exactly what you were doing. looking at getting a mikrotik network up and running I'm still using an edgerouter with an old hp switch and some ap's.
  • @gkroky
    I watched the video with morning breakfast ☕
  • @FragEightyfive
    Thank you for this. I had set up my RB several years ago and had per-port VLANS. This method made trunking to a couple AP's and switches much 'cleaner'.
  • @aka13_404
    That was a very nice, informative video. Thanks a lot for your efforts.
  • @cryozap
    Your small hint putting the bridge into bridge/vlan and don‘t add the software vlan into it in case of routing made my day. Never read this somewhere else. Thanks a lot
