I.E. this won’t work if to one port of an L3 switch one were to attach a dumb 5 port switch and plug 4 computers in

Vlans are simply a tag on a frame. You can set what if any tags are allowed and you can set the switch to tag untagged traffic. You can can limit Mac addresses with port security.

You create an device called interface.vlanid
Something like eth0.1

Ooh, would it be similar on other Linux distros/Unixes? I’m trying to decide between Debian, VyOS, Alpine and OpenBSD for my main firewall. All of them have strengths but I think it’ll be between VyOS and OpenBSD for me.
