VLANs and subnets

Rationale

There is a large quantity of network devices to be found here in fnordland. It might be nice to segregate them by function and restrict who may talk to whom. We can do this with VLANs (broadcast domains), network address spaces, and some firewall.

Goals

  • Management devices need not be accessible to stuff like the BluRay player
  • Network and server management needs no access to the Internet at large
  • Shared infrastructure services (DNS, email, ...) get their own space that client systems can get to
  • I'm sure there are more...
