3Gbps Internet - 1Gbps Ports on PFSense Router, 10Gbps Switch
-
Hello, if I had a 10Gbps managed switch, and it had port 1 had VLan 2, and port 2 had VLan 1 and 2. If I hooked up my Internet to Port 1 (3Gbps), and connected my router to port 2, would the rest of my network computers be able to access the internet with speeds of close to 3Gbps? If not, what options do I have to make this happen?

No. You said your pfsense router only has 1Gbps ports so any device connected to the lan side of your router will get at most 1Gbps (a little less due to various overhead).

Ok. That would have been a cool trick but I understand. What if the nic on the router was a single 10gbps, would that route fine at 3Gbps?

It should, assuming the router has enough horsepower to do all the packet processing at a 3Gbps rate.
