Team, I'm wondering if Firewalla Gold accounts for switch spoofing and double tagging?

I'm leaning heavy on VLAN's for segmentation and as a non-IT pro, wondering if this is built into FG or if I need to manually configure things to prevent these to exploits. Thank you!

  These exploits are mostly targeted at enterprises or large networks... I don't think you can do this with simple managed switches.  (there is no trunking protocols to mess with and double tagging likely requires two or more layers of very smart switches)   

  This is based on my understanding a few years back, not sure if these attacks changed recently.

  Ah! This is good info. And what I heard was that VLAN exploits were an older less common thing now anyway. Thank you for your reply!
