I have a pfsense install running on a superMicro board.

There are several devices that i would like to segregate onto multiple VLANs, for example, need a 10+ port, 10/100/1000, fanless, managed switch that could allow the following setup:

VLAN1:
xbox
appleTV
TV
DVD player​

VLAN2:
NAS​

VLAN3:
wireless AP
RADIUS​

VLAN4:
SPAN PORT​

And can anyone recommend a >10 port managed switch which would allow me to implement this design?

I am not even sure where to start looking. Yes I am new at this :(

Any help greatly appreciated.

should work, just need a managed switch that will allow tagging i think,, maybe a dell ? Buy a 16-24 port, ya never know if you are going to grow :)
 
Technically the only >10 port managed switch I know of that would allow this would be the HP 1810-8 however if you expand into the 24 port range there are many switches that can do what you want.

Cisco 2960G
Dell Powerconnect 27xx 28xx 53xx 54xx 62xx 63xx
HP Procurve 1810 2510G 2810

Thanks very much for the reply :D

OK, so looks like the 2960G is out of my budget. The HP Procurve comes in 8 (too small) or 24 (too big footprint) port configuration. The Powerconnect 2816 has 16 ports and comes in small foorprint package and roughly about $200.

The only other switch I found was a Routerboard brand but I don't know much about the devices and what functionality they support..

So based on my needs of 10+ ports, 10/100/1000, managed, and port mirroring, would you guys recommend the Dell PowerConnect 2816 over another brand?
 
I have a 2816 currently sitting in my home office. Works well, no complaints here.
 
I picked up a 2716 for $80 shipped. I'm sure you could find similar deals.
