Newly planned network at home

July 23th, 2017

With zeta my new OpenBSD firewall that I'll probably get by wednesday I have simplified my network a little. From the start zeta will use 7 ports which is amazing. Here is what area52 which is what I call my apartment will look like:

Network map (2017-07-23):

                                fritzbox: AVM fritzbox router
                                earth, mercury + beta: OpenBSD hosts

End of Network map.

I'm doing a lot more cabling and vlan'ing instead of vxlan'ing which is routed. With that I'm hoping to gain back stability and robustness.
