Comment on Should I or should I not use a VLAN? I have trouble understanding the benefits for home use
acockworkorange@mander.xyz 6 months agoOh, it can’t. You’d need more ETH ports. One for each VLAN a device is connected to. You can find multiport low speed expansion cards for cheap, even more so used. Many people think it’s a worthy investment. You learn a valuable skill and have a more resilient, secure network.
Of course that assumes you have spare expansion connectors on your server. I might be wrong, but I’m pretty sure you can find ETH boards for that “Wi-Fi” M.2 connector, so that’s an option if you don’t have PCI. That way you can at least segregate Internet and local traffic.

Yes, you create virtual nics tied to the physical one.
