I have a very basic question for you experienced people...
it's taken me a damn year but I finally am brave enough to switch over to a pfSense dedicated box; and making VLANs. A friend and I both picked up Brocade 7250, a Ruckus r510 AP; and a dedicated PC for pfsense. Home network.
1. if VLANs are created on the pfsense box, does the layer 3 VLAN communication also occur on the pfsense box or can you create VLANs on pfSense box and then Layer3 them on the Brocade 7250 ?
2. is it easier/smarter/more-secure making VLANs on the Brocade 7250?and just let the pfsense box act as router with some packages running
3. I am right now starting at the Brocade 7250 WebGUI and see the VLAN section (don't understand it, but i see it). Can VLANs be made here or best practice to only use CLI (for a total network noob please note)
I have all the hardware : pfsense PC, Brocade 7250 with console cable, Ruckus r510 AP, two Synology NAS with 1GB & 10GB NIC ports, Dell Server with 1GB and 10GB NIC ports - ESXi - lots of VMs
Simply do not understand if VLANs get made on pfsense or Brocade; dont understand if the VLAN Layer3 communication takes place on the pfsense box or Brocade.
My friend was going to ask reddit today;' but I thought I would ask the brocade experts here....
I apologize in advance to all the IT Pros reading this

for the basic nature of the question
