@apostolakisl, I agree with you ... 

You can use them as extra ports just like a switch (added this feature in 5.4.0):

With kind regards,

Running 5.4.3 and I don't see this.  Looking under

 You can now use the extra network ports as a network switch. To enable/disable, please go to Admin Console | Configuration tab | Network 

I have a "networking" tab which is the same as it has always been with the web server, network resources, and wake on LAN sub tabs.

Using them as pass through switches could be useful if you want to put polisy in a location that has only a single ethernet connection and already has a use for it.

I am sure this won't be helpful to current participants in this thread but it might be to any onlookers...  Maybe a month ago I set up a new Polisy using the wiki as a guide and there was zero ambiguity about which RJ-45 port to use for ethernet.

If people did that then they wouldn't have any questions about how to do stuff

Like connecting your RPi with PG2 on it until PG3 came into full operation or your foreign protocol Hub to it.
