Hello,

I want setup GS308T managed switch before router. Internet provider-->switch-->router.

    Here again, there are not managed switch models.

    internet passthrough usage i guess, plain L2. Granted, you could configure an additional port for data capturing. bigger challenge might be in most deployments, there is only one IP address available in what makes up the management subnet. What is the idea for such a config, what do you want to achieve?

      Idea is internet trafic goes in 1 port out 2 port to wan router. 1 port port mirror to 7 port and all trafic goes SIEM.

        sure, pure L2 with the Internet data plus for port mirroring feeding data to a Security Information and Event Management is feasible.
