switch question - is this a valid configuration

switch question - is this a valid configuration

Lets say I have a 5 Ethernet port Mikrotik. All 5 ports are on a ethernet switch chip.

Rather than:
bridge ether1 & ether2 & ether3 (using bridge1)
-and also-
bridge ether4 & ether5 (using bridge2)

can I just do this instead:
/interface ethernet
set ether2,ether3 master-port=ether1
set ether5 master-port=ether4

Where the result is ether1 & 2 & 3 all see each others traffic -and- ether4 & 5 see each others traffic.

Yes this is correct configuration. But sometime you can have unexpected problems with vlans on some switches when more than one masterport is used and you cannot use firewall between the ports of the same switch group.
