Which way is proper?<br />
I have a 3 NICs. Wan, LAN and 3rd not assigned.  Now I can create VLANs and assign them to the hardware for the 3rd NIC, whether the NIC is assigned or not. Which way is proper as no NON-VLAN traffic will ever be on that hardware? https://forum.pfsense.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif</p>
