I need technical assistance, I visited few vendors who deal into firewaal. Few 
of them say they have 4 switch port and 1 LAN port, but does it make any 
difference since as per my knowledge goes switch port and LAN port are one and 
same.
 

My assumption is that they mean WAN port.  Usually on personal
routers/firewalls and some higher end products they will have a built in
switch that is inside the router/firewall and one connection that is
outside the router/firewall.
