        Unfortunately I have zero experience with Mikrotik switches so I probably can't help you there. 😉 However I imagine there are numerous videos on youtube etc walking through VLAN config on Mikrotik.

                      @learn I don't see it mentioned here yet, but the IP address space you chose is out of spec. The 172.16.X.X address space is as follows:

                      172.16.0.0/12 IP addresses: 172.16.0.0 – 172.31.255.255

                      You used 172.168.100.X, and that address space looks to belong to Microsoft maybe, somewhere else in the world. First, fix that problem, bring your IP address space within the proper range.

                        Yup, that's true ^.

                        I would not expect it to prevent the VLAN config working though.

                        The VLAN setup in SwOS looks more complex that many switches but I'm sure once you're familiar with it it's easy enough.
