@MacUsers said in How to pass VLNAs from two seperate interfaces to main Switch?:
in my case but will be able to explain why it's a bad idea in general
Performance for one - there is no way your going to be able to bridge in software as fast as you can with doing it on in hardware on a switch.
2nd just complexity of configuration. Users can barely understand firewall rules on an interface, let alone on a bridge.. Are you doing the rules on the interface, or the bridge, etc.
3nd would be misuse of a router port.. A discrete interface is way more valuable as actual interface to do routing with, than to try and use it a sub optimal switch port. When switch ports are cheap!!!
There are cases when bridge on your firewall makes sense - but to be honest it is almost always would be the last choice if can do it cheaper, simpler and easier config.
