I have a US$70 Netgear 8-port "unmanaged" Ethernet switch that forms a
key part of my home LAN. I just plugged everything into that and it's
all good :-).

Enterprise and Service Provider switches are what they used to call
"managed" Ethernet switches. So in many cases, just plugging in and
going should work, but that would be too underkill for said switches.

I run out of count on the number of VLAN 1 related issues I ran into
years ago.

Since 2005, I decided that VLAN 1 is as about as useful as admin/admin.
