Help setup my new MikroTik hAP

[sloppy]

Hello, this is my first MikroTik device and so I don't know really well how to do everything. I tried ChatGPT and searching the Wiki but it doesn't seem to work. Here is the setup I'm trying to achieve:

The MikroTik is connected to a Managed Switch, the port it's connected to is a Trunk port with VLAN 20 (Users) Untagged Primary, VLAN 30 (Services) Tagged, VLAN 99 (Management) Tagged.

The goal is to have the MikroTik accessible for management on VLAN 99 (so accessing WinBox and everything else) and to have two APs, one for Users and one for IoT devices, the first one on VLAN 20 and the second one on VLAN 30. Also DHCP is begin hosted on the external router so I don't need the MikroTik to do that.

I know it may seem like a simple issue but I don't understand how to make it work, especially the management VLAN part.

Thanks for any help

Vlan-aware bridge mysteries

Setting up an RB5009 to upgrade a home office was pretty straight forward until I moved on to use vlans to separate guests IOT devices, personal PCs, and business PCs. Wrapping my head around the Mikrotik way of setting up the vlans has been interesting. I have found three great posts on this forum: @pcunite's using-routeros-to-vlan-your-network @sindy's routeros-bridge-mysteries-explained Question related to “RouterOS bridge mysteries explained” - @sindy's response I think best visually so I…
