Interesting project.
For simpler use you can get an OpenWRT capable router which in most cases uses a managed switch chip. OpenWRT provides a nice interface to configure VLANs and other options.
- tomatocracy 2y agoOpenWRT these days can also be installed on some switches eg the Zyxel GS1900 series (though support for things like PoE and 10Gb/SFP+ ports might be limited, I’m not sure where things stand there).
- stragies 2y agoLooking at the OpenWrt forum, work is coming along nicely w.r.t supporting FasterThan1G on RTL9X. Many/Most configurations seem to be working. RTL8X is AFAIC done, feature-complete. https://svanheule.net/switches/ https://svanheule.net/switches/ POE on those devices is mostly two types: Broadcom (well supported), and Realteks inhouse solution, which uses a 'dialect' of the Broadcom protocol. There is a git branch/PR, where the 'dialect' differences have been moved to individual modules. But it's not released yet. https://github.com/Hurricos/realtek-poe/pull/35 https://github.com/Hurricos/realtek-poe/pull/35 Unfortunately, there seem to be hard problems migrating up from Linux 5.15 to 6.1 or 6.6.
- znpy 2y agoWTF, i had no idea that was possible. I have that exact switch (GS1900-24E)... I need to look into that
- m463 2y agoI just bought one of the zyxel 24-port poe switches for use with openwrt. I've been using openwrt on mikrotik switches, but max was 10-ports. the extra ports and poe will be nice. I think the zyxel gs1900 48-port switches are also supported.
