vlans
hello all
I am changing my home network
i will be implementing opnsense a server and this will be connected with a singlew connection to a managed switch. both of these devices will be configured with vlans.
main lan 192.688.1.1
vlan 10 lan 192.168.20.1
vlan 20 lan 192.168.30.1
i would like to hard wirer all my devices in every room.
in 2 rooms i will have multiple devices.here, In these rooms i will have a powerline adapter conneced to a small smart switch that will connect all my devices in that room
in 3 other rooms i will have a single laptop and i would connect these devices to a powerline adapter .
1 option:
i can connect one powerline adapter to the main managed switch
in this case all local power adapters shoudl carry all this information in the frame to this main adapter that will send the information to the managed switch that in turn will send that frame to the router so it can route it to the correct device.
the devices that are connected to a small smart switch which is connected to a powerline will carry the vlan informnation in addition to the ip and mack address
the devices connected to the powerline direcly will carry the device information (ip and mac address)
option 2
i connect 2 powerline addapters each to its own trunck on the main managed switch. The switch will have an ip address of 192.168.1.1
does this give me 2 netwroks?
if so this would mean that i can pair one of the 2 adapters to the adapters that are connected to the small managed switches (this will carry the vlan infoemation) they would have 2 vlan. one vlan wih a network address of 192.168.10.X and the other vlan with a network address 192.168.20.x
the 2nd adapter will be paired to the other 3 adapters that are connected to a single laptop their network address will be 192.168.0.x
in reading and watching information on frames and packets i beleve that one of the 2 option is possible
any suggestions?
thank you for responding
