I'm not sure what you mean here. Through the web administration, you  
can set VLAN's per port, but port-by-port configuration (via  
ifconfig, for example) is hindered by the use of bridging. If VLAN's  
are what you're looking for, though, 0-15 are available, plus a  
"tagged" VLAN.

(I just looked through the forums, and by assigning each port to its  
own VLAN, you can do port-by-port config. See http://forum.bsr- 
clan.de/ftopic6127-15.html for reference.)

Routing options are also available (the router can operate in  
Gateway, BGP, RIP2 Router, and OSPF Router modes).

Some of it, anyway.

AFAIK, the uplink can have more than one IP. I've not tried it, but  
it looks like it can. I'm pretty certain that can't be controlled  
through the web interface.
