Rookie VLAN setup questions

For the sake of example, I have 3 networks. 10.0.1.0 / 10.0.2.0 / 10.0.3.0
I need to link these networks over a single wire (2 locations) I think VLAN is what I need. Could someone give me a basic setup. Beyond what the manual has?

I will only be using MT routers. so I think I need 2

However the manual shows how to make a VLAN port, but I am unclear on how to seperate the networks on each side. I have 3 dumb switches at each loation, and I want to keep the traffic seperate. (due to multiple domains)

Am I going down the right path? 2 MT routers with 4 ether ports each?

This is networking 101 but I could sure use some help.

Draw a picture and send it up and I will give you answer

If i understood correctly , you have 2 locations connected via single line and at each locations you have 3 IP networks. Next, you want to bridge ipnet1 from location1 with ipnet2 from location2 etc.?

In this case you do not need MT at all. You need only one 802.1q capable switch per location. Then you configure 3 Vlan's with shared tagged port ( vlan trunk ) at each switch and connect switches via this port to each other.
You can use MT, but in this case you must use EoIP tunnels.
