Why do you need such a garbled topology? you want your server to act as a 
switch (a Layer-2 switch) but you configured it much like as if it was a 
router (a Layer-3 switch), that is, with an IP address assigned to each of 
its interfaces. To my humble opinion there is a misconception here: if you 
want your server to play the role of the switch then all you have to do is 
to bring up a bridge interface, which means to enslave the physical devices 
(eth0,1,2) to a logical one (traditionally a logical net device named 
something like "br0") and then assign ONE single IP address to the 
*logical* device only.
