   Having a managed switch at my disposal is kind of blowing my mind a little. I'm doing things like patching an Internet WAN and an IPTV LAN to a pair of ports and exposing those networks on a third port via untagged and tagged VLANs respectively. They're both downlinks to the same router, and that router has two 1 Gbps buses that it splits evenly between bridged and unbridged ports, so it makes sense to do it that way.

      I'm using this managed switch in so many ways I hadn't even imagined, because it opens up so many options. The more I work with it, the more I realise that, if you have a managed switch, what you want to do is to attach literally everything to it and let it take care of patching everything through, because if you change your mind about the wiring later, you just change the configuration in firmware.
