I am not very technical. My server room is far away from my internet connection 
at my home. So there is only one cable going from the internet to server room.  
I am still reading about VLAN so that I understand its working better.

Why bridge multiple interfaces, then separate them as vlans with no
vlan-capable switch? Wouldn't you get the same effect by just running
the separate interfaces as separate LANs? Just asking.
