Homelab updates
It’s been a couple years since my last homelab post and many things have changed.
Overview
There are more VLANs now. Retained from last time, we have:
- One for IoT crap.
- One for surveilance.
- One for Home Assistant.
- One for work.
- One for the Steam Link and gaming VM.
The new additions are:
- One for a media server, and
- One for WAN.
The SSIDs haven’t changed from last time, and it’s all still Unifi gear (excluding the modem). I upgraded from a USG to a UDM-Pro (and got rid of the UNVR in the process), and consolidated the other infra extensively.
My new place has Ethernet in the walls, so I stuck the old 8p POE switch in the media box where all the drops terminate. All the other major stuff gets to live on the wall or floor next to it.
One exception is the modem, which is in the garage because that’s where the fiber was dropped. Fortunately there was also Ethernet back to the media box from there, so I VLAN’d the WAN and am POEing the modem.
My VM server is the only persistent piece of iron on the network now, so I was able to sell off the rackmount switches.
This is my first time trying out rackstuds and they’re actually pretty nice.
Unfortunately I wasn’t smart enough with the positioning to be able to also stick the UPS on the wall.
I still need 3 APs to get decent coverage. The UAP-AC-Pro is in that same closet, while the IW-HD is by the TV and the FlexHD is upstairs in tbe bedroom.
