![]() ![]() I've heard conflicting information about what hardware I should purchase to accomplish this. I'll need a bare minimum of FOUR 10Gbps connections (1 server, 2 gaming computers, and 1 trunk connection to the firewall). VLAN 30 = 1Gbps IoT devices (Smart TV, etc) VLAN 20 = 10Gbps (Server and 2 gaming computers) Here's what I'm trying to do in a small home office (so noise is a concern): However, what is really stumping me is what's downstream from the pfSense firewall, namely VLAN capable switches, and would really appreciate any advice. I don't think I currently need assistance with pfSense hardware, but will probably combine a Dell Optiplex 5040 (i3), an Intel Quad 1Gbe NIC, and some sort of 10Gbe dual port card for trunking up to the firewall. I've always ever had a single wireless router in my environment, but as I get into servers that start to serve larger amounts of data and have insecure Internet of Things devices in my network, I think it's time to get into VLAN capable switches and a pfSense firewall. ![]()
