Hardware and Performance / Question about managed switches
« on: June 13, 2024, 12:03:39 am »
New to OPNsense, but have some minor experience with networking. Looking to change out my switches to managed ones for vlans when I decide to do it. Can you advise if the following switches would be good enough for learning purposes without spending a ton of money?
Netgear 8p (4 POE) switch - GS108PEv3
Netgear 24p (0 POE) switch - JGS524v2
Netgear 16p (8 POE) switch - JGS516PE
Netgear 8p (8 POE) switch - GS110TP
With one each of these, I would be able to switch out my current unmanaged switches and run all of my equipment. Do you see anything that would not be a good idea to use with OPNsense or in general? Not looking for anything past gigabit as I don't do much that would require it. Mostly media streaming and security cameras.
I appreciate the input.
