 Ya, saya rasa saya boleh mulakan. So, hello everyone, I'm just going to present a very quick thing about my home network setup. It's on how I reuse consumer routers for my home network setup. So, I had a server write in my... I have a server write in my home. So, this is what it looks like. So, this is the back of it. So, I have a 1U DL360 Gen7 and a mini PC that will do... that has two internet ports. I think that one was designed for showing displays because it has two HDMI outs. So, it's meant to attach to the back of TVs and that kind of thing. And then I also have my VLAN capable switch. This is TP-Link SG108E or something. One is VLAN capable in which... that means I can use VLAN tagging to have multiple broadcast domains over the same ethernet cable. So, the way... So, I had that but then I had one problem in which it was... how do I connect this server write which was in my room all the way into the living room which had the modem. So, let's just start here. Start again. So, I had this... So, this was my internet topology. So, modem would connect to... somehow, in this case, I decided to go with this topology. I'll explain why later. But it would connect to the first switch and have an access point at the same place in which the modem is located and it will connect then over one single ethernet cable into my room, into my server write which also had the routing equipment and also the servers. Yeah, the server names are named after cacti. Okay, so, one thing I have found very common was this DIR-865L consumer routers that they are very common because it kind of start up and come with start-up plans maybe a few years back or something. So, when people upgrade the routers they usually keep chosen away or set it for very cheap. So, I collected about two of these and also two more other routers, consumer routers of other models and brands. But I had two of these and I wanted to make use of them because I had them lying around. So, I actually found normally they don't do VLAN capable networking. So, what you can do is you can install OpenWRT which has a nice GUI and everything. So, OpenWRT is a fully open source firmware for routers and it supports quite a lot of architectures. And so, you can just flash it you can modify it. It runs a very simple Linux operating system that Intel also, like the package manager is also used by the Intel. I think the Intel Alisson and Galileo and things like that in their Yocto Linux distribution if I'm right. So, this is a very nice replacement router firmware. So, I made use of that, I installed it and one benefit it gives me other firmware over the stock firmware is that it gives me VLAN functionality which was very important which I needed in order to do my topology over here because I had to have a single trunk on the right that goes from the first switch from my modern all the way to the server rack which is at the top and bottom half. So, I took one of these I configured them with this using this user interface which is very simple to use I really like how it's designed and you can just select it in a grid even my TP-Link TP-Link VLAN switch doesn't have such a nice UI it's some weird, funky thing I would press one button and then type the VLAN ID this one has a nice UI with rules and actual table so, I set this up so, now I have an access point in my beside the the modem it goes into this switch and from the single white cable you see on the top right it goes all the way into my room and into this switch which then breaks out into two ethernet pure ethernet ports and from there I can connect it to my router box and also to the home network so, this gives me the resulting topology over here and that's it, thank you Any questions? Ya Why can't you just mix all broadcasts and data into the same trunk? Why what's the definition of VLAN? So, what VLAN is is that it allows you to have two separate broadcast domains Why having a separate broadcast domain is important is because you cannot mix maybe you have a different network that has a separate set of IP IP network Ya, IP network and another one that you don't want both of them to mix and therefore will like conflict la, ya and especially all the protocols so, that's what most enterprise networks do an example of such a topology is router on a stick so in my case, why it's very appropriate is because when network and a LAN network that I had to run over this trunk here so in order to do that I had to connect, I had to use VLAN tagging to make this trunk be able to handle both separate networks separately, so that my ISQ won't see something weird is going on and like close the turn off the modem or something Ya So, AP1 is not visible or wants to be visible to the modem Ya, so Yes, so all the AP1 here is just basically virtually, effectively connected to this even though it's like physically not Ya, thank you Thank you Ya I play with KVM and LightVert so I have some, occasionally I run VMs on it but most, but currently I've been using bare metal docker compose to run containers on my machines and that would serve multiple sites on the single machine but I have future hope to switch to communities on bare metal Ya that one, I'm not very I haven't done anything on that place yet because for me, all I need is just a bridge and then I'm done Ya Thank you
