VLAN on switch and passthru to router?

Hi all!

I've got the following setup:

1. Mikrotik Router (MR) - port 1 is ether1-gateway and connects to cable modem. ether8-switch goes to WAN on the Firewalla (FW)

2. Firewalla Purple SE in Bridge Mode (FW) - LAN port connects to port 1 on a Mikrotik managed switch (MS)

3. Mikrotik Managed Switch (MS) has a segment (ports 9-16) set to VLAN 89

This is done so that those ports get a separate DHCP address on a different subnet than the rest of the network.

The problem I'm running into is it seems the Firewalla is blocking the VLAN tagging and everything comes in on VLAN 1.

Is this configuration possible with the Purple SE? Do I need to rework my network topology?

  You will need to define the same VLAN (89) under firewalla->Network Manager
