Thanks Yes based on the instruction provided by Brook Milligan I create the interface file with "up" in it and it worked..
Thanks once again.. I have it working I have tested it with connecting 4 switches to the 4 port as well as connecting DHCP and static hardware to the 4 ports and all worked with no issues.

You create a bridge interface, connect all the physical interfaces to the bridge interface, and you set an ip address on the bridge interface.
