        To separate out Eth8 and use it like a discrete interface you need to add a new VLAN for, logg0.4092 for example, and then configure the switch to pass that. That is how Eth1 is configured separately from the other ports.

        See: https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/solutions/xg-7100-1u/configuring-the-switch-ports.html

              hy @stephenw10 no i am good for now this solutions works as expected it is only a temp setup so we can prepare our network for a move to datacenter. Now we can replicate the network settings.
