Hello,
I'm currently trying to build up a new Protectli unit with OPNsense to migrate my config from Arista.  I still have a good year left on my subscription so I'm taking this is a slow learning curve.  At the moment my biggest hurdle is trying to understand how to get the OPNsense unit to handle switch traffic the same as the Arista unit. 
My current setup has a stack of Cisco enterprise switches, vlans are defined and routed on the switch.  Arista just has routes setup with the various vlans (ie 10.10.10.0/24) to the next hop as my switch 10.10.4.59. I understand the terminology of how Arista is referring to it, just haven't quite wrapped my head around how this goes on OPNsense.

Could anyone help with some guidance on how this same setup can be done with OPNsense?

edit: Arista appliance is connected to a native vlan tagged port on the switch, nothing is trunked.

Disregard.
Completely forgot I had asked a similar question back in February.
