Hi Guys,
I am migrating from R8500 to MX4200; and my ISP needs tagged VLANID 100 (PPPoE) and tagged VLANID 101 for VoIp.
Thanks to ho1Aetoo and lexridge, we already know that creating a Wan.100 and using it as WAN interface instead of WAN solved the PPPoE but I can not find the way to connect the VLAN101 on the same WAN and link it LAN1 port as it was working on R8500.
I understand that MX4200 has DSA instead of internatl switch, but it was easy for me to config VLAN´s with the old switch tab.
Attached is my R8500 working VLAN config if anyone can take a look and help me to config VLAN Tagging, Bridging, Bridge VLAN Filtering sections to achieve the same result as the image below.

I guess you only have to create appropriate DSA VLAN filters to direct VLAN101 traffic to LAN port 1. Did you look at First Look: DSA VLAN Filtering [EA8500]?
Do you mean like the attached screenshot? only with that it did not work. BYW, on MX4200 the voip is plugged on Lan1. Do i have to create tagged VLAN wan.101 and/or lan1.101? do I need to activate the trunking setting? thanks.
This is the only way that partially works. With the attached setup using br1 the ISP dhcp server gave me IP address, but nothing else from there with no comunication (i guess some kind of IP conflict or similar).

I was thinking if we follow the logic in "First look: DSA VLAN filtering..." the configuration below seems plausible to me. My intention is to use WAN port as a trunk for VLANs 100 and 101, tagged VLAN 101 on lan1 for VoIP, and untagged traffic (ex-VLAN 100) for the rest.
Note: this is purely hypothetical, only you can test it. Please let me know if this works.
Go to Setup->Networking.
Code:
Bridging: check the following
br0 VLAN Filtering, Linklocal Learn, Trunking
Code:
Bridge VLAN Filtering:
VLAN ID PVID Untagged
br0 100 x x
br0 101 _ _
wan 100 _ _
wan 101 _ _
lan1 101 _ _
lan2 100 x x
lan3 100 x x
lan4 100 x x
wlan0 100 x x
wlan1 100 x x
wlan2 100 x x
So if the WAN port is used for Internet access, it cannot be a bridge member.
A bridge only bridges ports together, e.g., WAN and LAN.
But then there is no protective firewall between them.
So bridge filtering cannot be done with an active WAN port.
(This is possible with an IPTV VLAN, as it generally only transfers VIDEO and AUDIO data that remains within the provider's network). _________________ Quickstart guides:
