      @Sleeps:

      I'm currently running ver 1.2.3 on an FB connected to two unmanaged Gigabit switches. (Lan and OPT1) and its working fine. However I want to start dabbling with VLANS and now considering buying a cheap Smart Switch. (Not too bothered about the speed of the device) will this make my current switches redundant or can I connect them to the smart switch?

      I have seen two switches:

      Routerboard 250GS 5 Port Gigabit Managed Switch
      TP-Link 8+2G Gigabit-Uplink Web Smart Switch with 1 SFP Expansion Slots.

      Sleeps

      I decided to order a TP Link SG2109web Gigabit managed switch instead,because of the features and got a good price.  Hopefully should arrive within the next 2 weeks.  Been looking through the forum on vlans and it looks complicated.  However, the instructions in the pfSense book looks straight forward.  This will be the big test when it arrives.

      Thanks again for all the advice.
