Seconded. But for home use, kinda pricey!

We have an old NetGear managed switch at work that has basic VLAN  
support. It's not whiz-bang, but it might do waht you want. I can't  
remember the model number, but NewEgg is selling the GS716T for $280.  
It's 16 ports of 10/100/1000 with a 32gbit backplane (i.e., it will  
actually service all 16 ports at 1gbps), two fiber slots,  VLANs, and  
trunking. Seems like a good deal. The user reviews on newegg are  
generally positive about it.
