The device "Connect" gateway you are using supports standard TCP/IP on cifX0 from scratch, So yes you can use the dual cifX0 ports as normal switched Ethernet ports. And yes your device includes Node-RED and in this Node-RED there is a node that supports Modbus/TCP master. So you can "play" Modbus TCP right away.
What I can tell you is that the data throughput of the TCP/IP cifx0 in general is that it is just 1/10 of a normal 100MBit port. This is because the CPU behind the Dual-Ethernet ports is a fieldbus chip and was not initially designed to be a TCP/IP supporting chip but a chip for PROFINET, EtherNet/IP etc. instead. So this is why the throughput is so little.
