Bonding multiple ports together to act as VLAN Trunk

Hi All

Sorry if this has been asked before but I can't find the post....

I have an Intel 4-port GB ethernet card and an SMC switch (SMCGS24C-SMART)

I have configured 4 of the ports in the switch to act as a trunk

I have created a Bonded interface on the router, bonding the 4 ports together and have used the subsequent interface as the interface for my first 2/3 VLANs.

 2  RS name="Trunk Port 1" default-name="ether1" type="ether" mtu=1500 actual-mtu=1500 l2mtu=9014 
       mac-address=00:15:17:73:70:1C fast-path=no last-link-down-time=aug/04/2016 17:59:24 
       last-link-up-time=aug/04/2016 17:59:57 link-downs=1 

 3  RS name="Trunk Port 2" default-name="ether2" type="ether" mtu=1500 actual-mtu=1500 l2mtu=9014 
       mac-address=00:15:17:73:70:1D fast-path=no last-link-down-time=aug/04/2016 17:59:29 
       last-link-up-time=aug/04/2016 19:13:06 link-downs=1 

 4  RS name="Trunk Port 3" default-name="ether3" type="ether" mtu=1500 actual-mtu=1500 l2mtu=9014 
       mac-address=00:15:17:73:70:1E fast-path=no last-link-up-time=jul/30/2016 14:53:31 link-downs=0 

 5  RS name="Trunk Port 4" default-name="ether4" type="ether" mtu=1500 actual-mtu=1500 l2mtu=9014 
       mac-address=00:15:17:73:70:1F fast-path=no last-link-up-time=jul/30/2016 14:53:31 link-downs=0

12  R  name="Trunk 1" type="bond" mtu=1500 actual-mtu=1500 l2mtu=9014 mac-address=00:15:17:73:70:1C fast-path=yes 
       last-link-down-time=aug/04/2016 19:39:08 last-link-up-time=aug/04/2016 19:39:08 link-downs=1

 0  R name="Trunk 1" mtu=1500 mac-address=00:15:17:73:70:1C arp=enabled arp-timeout=auto 
      slaves=Trunk Port 1,Trunk Port 2,Trunk Port 3,Trunk Port 4 mode=balance-rr primary=none link-monitoring=none 
      arp-interval=100ms arp-ip-targets="" mii-interval=100ms down-delay=0ms up-delay=0ms lacp-rate=30secs 
      transmit-hash-policy=layer-2 min-links=0

 6  R  name="Infrastructure" type="vlan" mtu=1500 actual-mtu=1500 l2mtu=65531 mac-address=00:15:17:73:70:1C 
       fast-path=yes last-link-down-time=aug/04/2016 19:39:00 last-link-up-time=aug/04/2016 19:39:08 link-downs=1

The problem is that I can not get the router talking to the switch.

Has anyone ever managed to do this?
Can you share your experience ?

/interface vlan export

Your posting doesn't show the key configurable information about the VLAN interface - namely, which interface it's subbing on, and what the vlan-id is.

/interface vlan
add interface=Trunk1 name=Infrastructure vlan-id=10
add interface=Trunk1 name=Phone vlan-id=100
add disabled=yes interface=Trunk1 name=Private vlan-id=20
add disabled=yes interface=Trunk1 name=Public vlan-id=30
add disabled=yes interface=Trunk1 name=Radio vlan-id=50
add disabled=yes interface=Trunk1 name=TV vlan-id=40

There had to be something I had missed!

I have to say that I don't think this is a Mikrotik issue but, rather, a problem with the switch and the protocols which are used fro 'Trunking'

The SMC switch uses 'Static Link Aggregation' which is a rather vague description so, if anyone has any experience and can suggest the best setup, I would appreciate it.

Thanks
