VLAN question

Good morning Netonix

I am trying to pass three vlans up down a port on a WS-250-10

VLANS are 10, 11, 12

Port 10 (fiber SFP) is the 'trunk' port and connected to it is a mikrotik router board with the appropriate vlans tagged on the mikrotik interface.

I want to pass the traffic on the switch as

Port 1: VLAN 10
Port 2: VLAN 11
Port 3: VLAN 12

I can get VLAN10 to work fine on port one, but cannot get port 2 or 3 to pass anything.

I am allowing vlan traffic according to the UI checkbox, which I am assuming is the equivalent of "switchport allow vlan X" in cisco speak.

am I missing something?

thank you

Do you have Teamviewer and Skype or cell phone.

OK, you did not say rather you wanted VLAN packets to leave ports 1, 2, and 3 as Un-Tagged normal packets or still inside their VLAN encapsulations as Tagged packets so here it is both ways.

If you want the packets to leave ports 1,2,3 as normal Un-Tagged packets do this:
Now packets entering the switch with VLAN ID 10 on port 10 from the router would be directed to port 1 for egress and upon exiting the switch would strip the VLAN ID tag and make it a normal Un-tagged packet. Any Un-Tagged packet entering port 1 would be encapsulated with VLAN ID 10 and shoved out port 10 to the router. Any Tagged packets trying to enter port 1 with any VLAN ID would be dropped.

If you want the packets to leave still Tagged do this:
Now packets entering the switch with VLAN ID 10 on port 10 from the router would be directed to port 1 for egress and upon exiting the switch would NOT have it VLAN ID tag stripped. Any Un-Tagged packets or any packets not Tagged as ID 10 trying to enter port 1 would be dropped but packets with ID 10 would be allowed to enter and be directed to exit port 10 to the router with their VLAN ID tag intact.

Under both examples any Un-Tagged packets entering port 10 would be directed to the switch UI/CLI and could also exit any port on VLAN 1 that also has a U on that port.

Port 10 would only accept packets from the router with no VLAN ID or VLAN ID 10, 11, and 12 all other VLAN IDs would be dropped.

All VLANs are is simple rules as to what packets to allow in to a port and what to do with the packets when they leave a port.
