Well, everything has arrived and it is time to start setting things up. So far my first few attempts in setting up my Ubnt ERL and Mikrotik switch ended up with me resetting to factory defaults a handful of times. As I've said before, I am fairly competent on the hardware side and pretty much have zero experience on the network side of things.
Any hints for setting up VLANS on the edgerouter and the Mikrotik switch? As a side note, I did upgrade the ERL to the newest firmware. Looks like I'll need to learn the CLI commands to manage the router and switch. Should be an interesting learning curve.
Thanks everyone!
EDIT:
Well, a few more resets of the switch and I am still not sure how to get the VLANs to work how I want them or if I am even using them correctly for that matter.
I would like ports 2-16, 25 and 26 to be in the 192.168.20.0 subnet, 17-22 in the 192.168.30.0 subnet and in 23-24 in the 192.168.40.0 subnet. I have the VLAN groups setup and port 1 is in all of the groups. I have DCHP setup for all of the VLANs and subnets setup in the EdgeRouter. Am I just completely missunderstanding how VLANs work?
