Hello,
Other than connecting two+ Routerboard-based devices via an ethernet cable what is the suggested way of creating a managed switch with greater than nine ports based on Routerboard hardware?

I suppose you could take a x86 computer and stick a bunch of multi port network cards in it.
Another option is to get a basic 24 port switch that supports VLANs and send all traffic via a routerboard port.

Option 2 works great. We use procurve switches (available new and used) with Mikrotik VLANs all the time.
