I have a 4 port (quad) 10/100 PCI (ZNYX ZX374) card. If I were to add this card into the box and then add those ports and bridge them with each other (completely away from LAN WAN) will those four ports act like a VLAN capable switch? I don't don't have a VLAN capable switches and by introducing this will I be able to run a VLAN based segmented network. The traffic is not much.... Comments.
