[ale] Switch for monitoring via SNMP

[Alex Carver]

I don't want to recreate a router, I already have one that handles the 
main traffic running on a machine bigger than a Pi.

The important thing is to see all the traffic that the modem is handling 
because the streaming/IOT VLAN bypasses my current router and gets 
handled by the modem directly (NAT onto the modem's external IP, my 
router uses a different external IP).

So I either need a switch capable of handling VLANs with full local 
management and no cloud requirement or a big router capable of handling 
gigabit speeds across multiple interfaces.
