Lab network

Status: Active · ← All projects

A UniFi Dream Machine Pro gateway with two PoE switches and several access points, split into separate networks (VLANs) so that servers, workstations, smart-home devices, phones, guests and storage traffic stay apart.

In place

  • Seven VLANs with firewall rules between them
  • Wired and wireless coverage, including a second access point that carried the Wi-Fi while the main one was offline
  • A written addressing and VLAN map
  • Monitoring of every network device

Next

  • Re-adopt the main access point after a factory reset
  • Replace cables that negotiate only 100 Mbps instead of 1 Gbps
  • Review the firewall rules with an automated audit
