I just had a thread on Reddit about this subject, if you want to dig more. Note that @infoMatt is absolutely correct - VLANs are Layer 2 technology, so you'll have to configure on the switch anyhow. What you're reading about being "easier" is routing between VLANs, which is another (though related) subject. Go read the thread, I wrote a bunch of stuff on the topic going back and forth with the original poster. Should help explain the pros and cons.Thus, question: in simple words, can someone explain the Pros/Cons of setting up VLANs on the pfSense appliance vs setting them up on the 6450 Brocade switch?
