Managed switch on routing mode for dhcp
I have a few CNC machines at work that have RS232 connectors. I know I can get adapters to convert the RS232 to WiFi or Ethernet. I don't want these machines to be on the company network. So ins...
A VLAN does not require a dedicated physical network link. Each VLAN does make up a dedicated logical network. So doing this on the XS728 is perfectly fine.
Thank you, the reason I want to have these CNC machines connected to a Netgear switch is so I can avoid connecting fiber from firewall (WatchGuard) to switch. Plus, this is another way to keep them away from company network. Yes, I could create a new VLAN for these CNC machines. But this means I need to run cable from firewall to switch.
Is there any Netgear switch that does dhcp and act as router?

So since I'll be connecting the CNC machines to the WiFi, I don't need the extra ports on the XS728.
Are there any 5 port managed switches that have the same feature as XS728? How about the GS305E?
It has 5 ports, I could use 1 port for connection from firewall if needed, and 1 port for an access point, and I have 3 spares left.
Would be better if there is a 5 port managed PoE switch that does routing and dhcp
