| Jun 10, 2018 at 20:53 | comment | added | CaffeineAddiction | I was just curious if there was a security advantage between physical interfaces vs 2x vlans on the same physical interface ... as far as I know there is not (but could be wrong). | |
| Jun 10, 2018 at 20:49 | comment | added | Steffen Ullrich | @CaffeineAddiction: the OP was asking about different network interfaces. I don't understand these as different physical network cards (or different physical ports on a single multi-port card) but they could be logical interfaces too, like VLAN. | |
| Jun 10, 2018 at 20:39 | comment | added | CaffeineAddiction | if you just wanted to separate out admin from non-admin couldn't you just use one physical ethernet port connected to 2x vlans (making use of Network Alias) | |
