TRUNK Configuration of LAN Switchports on a 1590

I am trying to use several of the LAN ports on a 1590 for AP's, so I want to configure the ports as TRUNKs

I am working with LAN Ports 5 thru 8

I created a Bridge Group, but I could only create a Vlan against the physical ports for creating Layer3 interfaces.  I then created Vlans which are assigned to another physical port in the bridge, and associated this to the Bridge Group

I this the way to achieve what I am trying to do, or how should I configure it ?

See screenshot attached for what I have created.

Thanks in advance

Hi @championc1 

Clarify this a little bit.

Do you want to create a bond with two member interfaces and use it as trunk?

Bridge IF:

Bridge interfaces connect two different interfaces (bridge ports). Bridging two interfaces causes every Ethernet frame that is received on one bridge port to be transmitted to the other port. Thus, the two bridge ports participate in the same Broadcast domain (different from router port behavior).

Bond IF: 

Check Point security devices support Link Aggregation, a technology that joins multiple physical interfaces into one virtual interface, known as a bond interface.

So which one?

Thanks @AkosBakos 

I simply want multi-VLAN switchports, since, as I pointed out in my first line of the post, the plan is to connect several WiFi AP's to these switchports.

So I absolutely do NOT want a Bond

Ok. Do you have a very simple topology for easier understanding?

I believe this is the correct procedure for what you're trying to do (create a bridge, add the physical interfaces and VLANs to it).
At least that's what I recall when I had this set up some time ago.
TAC should be able to confirm the correct procedure.
