Hardware and Performance / Bridging ports and performance.
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.
