Hi!
Currently running a bridge based VLAN setup, different bridges per VLAN (br-vlan-15 etc).

Seems I should simplify this setup after 6.41.

Not running on a CRS3xx (but on RB3011 and hAP AC), I'm trying to figure out how I should set it up.

According to the Switch Chip Featues page (https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:S ... p_Features),
it seems turning on VLAN filtering on the bridge, will turn off HW offload.

So, after defining/adding the VLAN's in /interface vlan, then instead of defining the rest of the VLAN stuff in the /interface bridge section, I should use /interface ethernet switch?

(A couple of references, background to why I'm asking: viewtopic.php?f=13&hilit=vlan%20switch& ... 0&t=136440 and https://www.reddit.com/r/mikrotik/comme ... t/e1yq1v7/)

No guarentee this is best practice and I'm happy for any of the experts out there to point out what I'm doing wrong, but below is an extract of a working config from a CRS125 using the switch chip to provide HW offload on the bridge for wirespeed switching with VLANs.

Note however than I don't do any routing on the switch at all, it is all done in a seperate router (ether1 goes to the router for VLAN 100, ether21 for VLAN 200 and ether23 for vlan 300) , so this will only point you in the correct direction for the switch chip. You will still have some work to do to get this working for routing between the VLANs to suit your needs:-)

I used to have config for egress-vlan=translation too, but looking at recent Wiki examples they didn't use it, so I have removed for now. It's working, but someone might explain why you should or shouldn't use it. I'd love to know and then I might need to change my config
