I will try to explain how to deal with vlans and qos on Mikrotik devices.
In switching technology, we have three modes of ports: Access, Trunk and Hybrid.
An access port should be used only with untagged packets. This kind of port is where you connect your PC to the switch.
An trunk port is capable of receiving and forwarding packets from multiple vlans. This one is to interconnect switchs.
An Hybrid port is a special mode that allow untagged and tagged packets on the same port. Imagine that you have a Voip desktop phone, you will connect your PC to the phone and the phone to the switch. We will have a vlan for voip and untagged data for the PC.
