I've set up a RED 50 in standard/unified mode, both uplinks connected in Failover mode, and also checked the "tunnel compression" feature
Switch configuration VLAN
PORT1 VLAN, Untagged, VID 101
PORT2 VLAN, Untagged, VID 102
PORT3 VLAN, Untagged, VID 103
PORT4 VLAN, Tagged, VID 101,102,103
After that I bridged the reds interface with a UTM eth interface...
created the 3 VLAN's on the br0 bridge interface...
configured my packetfilter and masquerading rules...
created DHCP servers for those VLAN's 101, 102 and 103
And everything worked perfectly for days now:
- I could surf via each of the VLAN's
- I could connect to both sides of the bridged VLANs (from behind RED to resources behind the UTM and vice versa)
Today I disabled the tunnel compression feature for the RED50, and after the RED50 reboot due the config change the display shows the red online, and it starts in the log normally with it's ping pong play.

But there's not any traffic possible through the tunnel...
==> Changing back to activated "tunnel compression" - does still not work after reboot
==> Removed the br0 bridge on the UTM and configured VLAN's directly to the reds interface - - does still not work after reboot
==> Un-, and replugging the network cable into RED switch port didn't help
==> disabling and reenabling the VLAN interfaces in the UTM didn't help
==> Powercycle the RED50 didn't help either...
Fascinating...[8-)]
I'll leave the RED50 at the moment in that non working state, if you want to troubleshoot on the UTM/RED, simply contact me ;o))
