Howto "Using extra ports as a network switch"

Before we were able to define network zones with the GUI, there was a workaround:

I configured my firewalls with that manual. Just had a look on one maschine and this changes have been removed automatically (propably with an update).

So isn’t that howto out of date and can bee removed?

Yes it is. This can now be done using the UI.
