Hello,
I have recently purchased a TVS-h1288X that has six Ethernet ports.
- Adapter 1 : 2.5 GbE
- Adapter 2 : 2.5 GbE
- Adapter 3 : 2.5 GbE
- Adapter 4 : 2.5 GbE
- Adapter 5 : 10 GbE (connected to an DHCP server)
- Adapter 6 : 10 GbE
I would like to use Adapters 1–4 and 6 for the other machines (Macs) used in the same room so that they can directly access the NAS without purchasing an additional 10 Gb or 2.5 Gb hub.
How do I use my NAS as a router working in the bridge mode? I would like to provide DHCP addresses to Macs connected to Adapters 1–4 and 6.

see here

create a software defined switch across these adapters
that is no router..you don't need another NAT layer here

Thank you dolbyman.
I created a virtual switch by choosing "Software-Defined Switch Mode" with physical adaptors of adapters 1–4 and 6. But what is the next step?
