Hardware and Performance / Bridging ports and performance.
« on: September 20, 2024, 05:45:47 am »
Hello,
I have a Qotom firewall that has 6 ethernet ports but its not a switch.
I read that I can bridge them to use them as regular ports, but the performance will suffer.
The question is, how much using them will hurt?
The firewall has a Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 3865U @ 1.80GHz (2 cores, 2 threads) with 4 GBs ram and my usage is very basic.
I rarely do big transfers and dont have much running on the firewall itself besides Wireguard.
So how bad would it be if I bridge all ports?
Thanks in advance.
