If the traffic flowing across the trunk has VLAN tags, then this should be fine for a homelab environment. Once you get everything up and running, go to SOC Dashboards, click the dropdown menu, and select the VLAN dashboard to see if it shows what you expect:
This should be fine for a homelab environment. You can use Zeek capture loss to see if you might be seeing any upstream packet loss in the Cisco switch: |

Detail
I'm in the planning phases and getting ready to purchase some hardware to setup SO on my home network. I have a few general questions.
My setup:
Router-on-a-stick config with pfSense sitting on a Cisco switch with many VLANs. Only layer 2 routing.
I looked at my average traffic over the last three months, which comes out to about 18MB/s. That number is somewhat skewed because I had a three day period where I setup a new file server and rsync'd data from the old one to the new server, hitting 544MB/s for most of those three days. That's the only time in memory that I've had such high traffic.
I'm planning to use a single appliance with a standalone config.
