KONFIGURASI VLAN PADA ROUTERBOARD - MIKROTIK TUTORIAL [ENG SUB]

Introduction

This tutorial provides a comprehensive guide on configuring VLANs on MikroTik Routerboards. VLANs, or Virtual Local Area Networks, help segment a network into different broadcast domains, which is crucial for managing large networks efficiently. By following this guide, you will learn how to set up VLANs on both Routerboards with and without hardware switch chipsets.

Step 1: Understanding VLAN Basics

• What is a VLAN?
  • A method to create multiple logical networks on a single physical network, allowing for better traffic management.
• Core Concepts
  • Core Port (Tagged): Used for VLAN trunking, allowing multiple VLANs to pass through.
  • Edge Port (Untagged): Connects to end devices, typically assigned to a single VLAN.

Step 2: Preparing Your MikroTik Routerboard

• Identify Your Routerboard Model
  • Ensure your device has a hardware switch chipset for efficient VLAN distribution.
• Access the MikroTik Interface
  • Connect to your router using Winbox or through a web interface.

Step 3: Configuring VLANs on Routerboards with Switch Chipsets

1. Create VLAN Interfaces

   • Go to Interfaces > VLAN and click on Add.
   • Configure the following fields:
     • Name: Choose a descriptive name for the VLAN.
     • VLAN ID: Enter the VLAN ID (1-4095).
     • Interface: Select the physical interface (e.g., ether1).

2. Set Up Bridges for VLANs

   • Navigate to Bridge > Add to create a new bridge.
   • Add the VLAN interfaces to the bridge.

3. Configure Ports

   • Set ports as either tagged or untagged based on their role:
     • Tagged for trunk ports (carry multiple VLANs).
     • Untagged for access ports (connected to end devices).

Step 4: Configuring VLANs on Routerboards without Switch Chipsets

1. Create a Bridge

   • Go to Bridge > Add to create a new bridge for VLANs.

2. Add Interfaces to Bridge

   • Add the interfaces you want to associate with the VLAN.

3. Set Up VLAN Filtering

   • Enable VLAN filtering on the bridge settings to allow VLANs to be recognized and processed correctly.
   • Check the box for VLAN Filtering in the bridge settings.

Step 5: Testing VLAN Configuration

• Check Connectivity
  • Use ping tests between devices on the same VLAN to ensure they can communicate.
• Monitor Traffic
  • Use the MikroTik monitoring tools to observe traffic flow and troubleshoot any issues.

Conclusion

Configuring VLANs on your MikroTik Routerboard is essential for managing large networks and optimizing performance. By understanding the concepts of tagged and untagged ports and following the step-by-step instructions provided, you can effectively segment your network to reduce broadcast traffic and enhance performance.
