Many MikroTik devices come with built-in switch chips that usually have an option to do VLAN switching on a hardware level, this means that you can achieve wire-speed performance using VLANs if a proper configuration method is used. The configuration method changes across different models, this guide will focus on setting up a basic trunk/access port set up with a management port from the trunk port using different devices with the right configuration to achieve the best performance and to fully utilize the available hardware components.
