Hello,
I've been testing with OPNsense in a VM for a few days.
I don't currently have a VLAN switch. I would like to test exactly what I need and whether I can get it configured.

What would be your recommendation for a cheap switch to test created VLANs with OPNsense?
And are there possibly also inexpensive devices with which one could also test a radius server for dynamic VLANs?
4-8 ports without POE will be enough.

Hi,
for starting cheap you can start with TP-Link TL-SG105E. Later you may use their Omada-System which is a great Unifi-like management system.

Bye
Robert.

Ebay, look for something like a Cisco Sg200-24 or a sg-200-16 or 8 port.   IMO my fav switch in my lab is the Unifi Edgeswitch Light ( the black ones ).
