  • two wans
  • lots of vlans
  • 32vcpu hypervisor with gpu passthrough
  • 25gbps san running off the nas

Everything I do is mostly with VMs, the hypervisor is diskless pxe booting off the SAN. I've been cleaning up my lab, it used to be a plank of wood https://discuss.online/post/44690398

There is a nanokvm hanging off the hypervisor (rs232,atx header, hid) which makes remote rebuilds quite painless. I love my inexpensive nanokvm.

What does your homelab look like?

vlans don't route to each other, you need a device that routes between vlans (if you want traffic to cross)

Well, yeah. VLANs work at layer 2. What you are routing is the subnet you assigned to each one.

I just have never heard the term "cross routing" in my 30 years of networking.

Fair enough - how would you describe it?

[-] non_burglar@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

I would just say routing.

It's most common to associate a vlan with a subnet for sanity, so i think "routing vlans" would be understood.
