The #homelab is now mostly complete... or rather: The infrastructure 😎

Right now:

  • Omada AP
  • OPNSense router (Protectli)
  • TP Link Smart Switch
  • ThinkCentre: #Debian Server (Docker, DNS, etc.)
  • PC: NAS, #FreeBSD with 2 x 4TB SSD drives in a mirror (ZFS)

Wifi, Servers and the local LAN are all seperated physically on the #OPNSense.

Next on the list: #VLAN fun 🙂

Power usage: about ~35W

I can live with that for sure 🙂

people, I'm looking for comments about my homelab VLAN project.
My switches will support VLANS. However, I have not created any yet.

I'm thinking of building VLANS for

  • Proxmox management between my three Proxmox servers
  • Storage traffic between the Proxmox VMs and my NAS servers.
  • Out of band management (iDrac, iLO, etc)
  • Any IoT traffic

Have you created VLANS for that kind of traffic?
What others would you suggest?

I've been on the search for a #mesh #WiFi option that supports multiple SSID associated to tagged #VLAN, which span into the LAN. I do this now with #FreshTomato to my #pfSense router. But I need better WiFi coverage.

So far, it's looking like #OrbiPro and #DrayTek devices do this, but one isn't high on my expectations list and one isn't easily acquired in the US. So I'm trying the Orbi Pro and we'll see...

#HomeNetworking #security #segmentation

So this is my topology.

I would rather have the whole thing in one LAN, but I think for that I either have to insert another gateway router between FTTdp and MoCA, or I could use VLAN to connect access points through the same MoCA backbone, but I'd need a managed switch to filter VLAN packets from FTTdp.

I wonder which I should do...

lamp,

Well, in either case, there's going to be on the network, cause even with the router I will need to get multiple networks to my server.

The question is, will the MoCA endpoints be usable as access ports, or will all devices have to be VLAN aware?

If an ordinary device receives both untagged and tagged frames, what does it do with the tagged frames?

lamp,

What if I do without the switch though...

From what I can tell, the network functions as a switch. And assuming the FTTdp thing just bridges it all through, I'm basically connected to ISP router through a switch. So broadcasts and whatever junk will be sent to the ISP, which will probably drop the junk, but the vast majority of the packets won't be sent there. So it'll work...
