Doubt about VLAN
Greetings, I have a small network at home that is composed (in short) by a Mikrotik routerboard and two switches, the main TP-Link and the secondary AlliedTelesis. I have multiple VLANs going through both switches to the routerboard. VLAN 1 is for the management of both switches. I recently changed the main switch (TP-Link) to a Netgear GS728TP and configured the same. All the VLANs work fine with the exception of VLAN 1 which does not reach the routerboard. In the Netgear switch, change the administrative VLAN to 5 and it reaches the routerboar but through 1 it does not.

So there is something wrong with the trunk and port config for tagged vs untagged.

This does not change anything on the VLAN config, just the admin features (management IP, WebUI, SNMP, telnet, SSH, is relocated.) Completely unrelated.
All vlans arrive at the routerboard through the trunk port, except vlan 1. If I try to access vlan1 through another untagged port, I can access it.- And how is the VLAN 1 configured on the trunk port and the router board? By default, the VLAN 1 is preconfigured on all ports as untagged and that's the reason why it's set to PVID 1 to associate untagged incoming frames to be VLAN 1.
