A while back we experimented with trunking VLANs over a Mikrotik backhaul, and *at the same time* putting the Mikrotiks themselves into a tagged 802.1q management VLAN. We had major problems with that.
But yeah, just bridging 802.1q VLANs over the Mikrotiks while keeping the radios themselves in an untagged management subnet, I expected that that should work. Thanks, all, for the feedback!
