Is it possible to use the 10Gb LAN SFP port as LAN w/o internet?

    Check the usual manual for official uses for that port.

      Are you wanting to use the router as a LAN switch or just have that specific port without internet and just for LAN?
  • Yes you can, I have my HP Microserver hooked up using the 10GB port.  Not really of much use as its limited by the rest of my network, but I had a card laying around so thought why not :P
