Management access w/out VLAN filtering

RouterOS General
1

Not trying to be complicated but this is my active prod environment I inherited - very fun

In the MikroTik reference/configuration guide it provides several examples to configure management access

1 of the examples Tagged access without VLAN filtering is this

/interface bridge
add name=bridge1 vlan-filtering=no

/interface vlan
add interface=bridge1 name=MGMT vlan-id=99

/ip address
add address=192.168.99.1/24 interface=MGMT

My question is if the name in
/interface vlan is not a bridge but one of the physical interfaces and that name matches the
/ip address interface name is this a valid setup and should this actually work?

/interface bridge
add name=bridge1 vlan-filtering=no

/interface vlan
add interface=ether5 name=JIMMY vlan-id=99

/ip address
add address=192.168.99.1/24 interface=JIMMY

Thank you

This will work. The bridge is only needed if multiple ports need access to the vlan. On this config, only ether5 is part of vlan 99.

But one question is: the ether5 is on the bridge1?
