I've just bought a Mikrotik HAP AC. I want to setup VLANs. As I gather there are many ways to do vlans, am I correct. But I read that the recommend method for the hap ac is to use the switch chip vlan. If the other methods work aswell please let me no and how to configure it.
How do I create vlans using the switch chip, trunk vlans and do Inter-VLAN routing with the switch chip.
Sorry if this is a stupid question but I am new to Mikrotik, I know about VLANs, just not how Mikrotik does them. I have tried to read the wiki but find it hard to find the correct information.

Re: VLAN Basics
I have read the article that you referenced but it didn't really answer my question. I want to use the switch chip for hardware offloading. What I want to know is how do I do Inter-VLAN routing between certain VLANs. I have the HAP ac, so all of this will be done on the same device.How about reading some existing topic?
I have read that the HAP ac doesn't have the hardware requirement so will have a performance hit when not using the switch chip for VLAN and inter-vlan routing. Is this true?

See

hap ac has very capable switch chip: QCA8337 https://i.mt.lv/cdn/rb_files/RB962UiGS-160210082257.png
you can do a lot with vlans in hardware, but through the switch menu, not through bridge
inter vlan routing: that's normal routing, and handled by routing itself.

Could you give me some examples of configuring vlans in switch chip and inter-vlan routing please.See

Re: VLAN Basics
Even if we assume the way you want to 'skin the animal' (have VLANs dealt by in switch chip) ... which 'animal' are you trying to skin?
Or, to rephrase, outline wanted (V)LAN topology (which ether ports are going to be access ports for which VLANs, which ports are going to be trunk ports (and which VLANs are in individual trunks), etc.

if you have one and more than one vlan in each interface, Mikrotik consider that interface as trunk. and you can set the untag traffic in that interface directly
