it would be a good idea but the problem is that you cannot assign an IP

I think this problem has no solution...
See below, you still can have IP address to interface, use bridge and
vlan as well. I do.
If that could possibly help you a little bit. Here is more details for
you at the end of the email as in operation for many months now.
Hope this help anyway. And if you don't want to assign an ip address to
a physical interface, you could always assign one to a loopback
interface as well. I do that in some other setup.
Anyway, hope if gives you some example to work with and possibly solve
your needs.
Best,

PS: The full duplex is not needed if you have switch that works well in
auto negotiation mode, witch all recent does, but I fix it on the switch
as well as on the bridge here for other reason, so just don't go at it
like that if you do not need it.
