How to configure RB750GL together with Netgear switch?

RouterOS Beginner Basics

Hi, I’m setting up a new office network and already have a Mikrotik RB750GL and a Netgear GS748TS managed switch.
My idea is to use the RB750GL as a firewall/router between my Internet connection and the Netgear switch where my servers and clients are connected to.
I do also want to separate my local network into three subnets so the connection between them are restricted and controlled by the firewall/router.

I believe I should use the VLAN technology in the Netgear switch and perhaps in the RB750GL to?

I’m not sure how to configure the RB750GL, should I setup port2 which is connected to the Netgear in a VLAN trunk mode or similar?
The wireless AP I’m using is not “VLAN aware” so I guess I need to configure port 3 to VLAN12 and assign the switch port the address range 192.168.12.0/24.

Do you have any good suggestions of how I should setup this? I haven’t start configure it yet so I don’t have any detailed questions I just want to figure out the best way to do this.

Hi, while waiting for the topic approval I have started to play with the router (the switch are still in use so I cannot use it for a few days).
I have successfully created a bridge on ether5 and to it added my VLAN:s so the port is now only working in VLAN mode. To test it I took a Linux desktop and created the three network interfaces on it with 802.1q compatible VLAN enabled and it’s working..

So do you guys have any more tips or anything else I should think about?
