Optimal Setup for Crs305-1G-4S & CRS326-24G-2S + sub 1G pfsense

Sun Aug 14, 2022 6:23 pm

Hello I recently acquired a CRS305-1G-4S+IN for a pretty nice deal on ebay. I have a couple boards with SFP+ interfaces I wanted to make use of.
I suppose I didn't think of it at the time, but now I am trying to determine what the most optimal way to arrange/setup my network would be

I have a dedicated pfsense solution with intel 1gb nics providing a 500//25 cable connection from a dedicated coax modem
I have a CRS326-24G-2S+RM
and now I have a new CRS305-1G-4S+IN..

I was planning to simply connect the 2 switches with a SFP+ DAC Twinax cable, and to possibly feed the pfsense internet through the 1gbE port on the CRS305-1G-4S+IN.
From there I would have simply set each switch to bridge mode and hoped all is well.

Would this work in so simple of a stage?
I plan in the very near future to implement 4-5 VLAN's to separate traffic between admin/management , vpn , non-vpn , guest , and a couple servers
given this information does that change the feedback I am to receive?

thank you for reading and your time
