Unmanaged switches just can't do this - they are designed for just a single untagged network.

Next thing - if you need any single physical switch to handle multiple VLANs, you must get managed switch to do this. You can couple that with the two things above, of course. Or have a VLAN for your network infrastructure, another for your media devices, and one for your general purpose computers. so if you are a business, it might make sense to have all of the computers for one department (maybe marketing) on a VLAN, and a separate VLAN for another team (say finance). this means that you can, for example, protect trusted networks from untrusted (IoT/guest/kids, etc.) hosts.Īnother reason to use VLANs is the logical grouping of hosts.

Add security by using VLANs - firewall rules can allow or prohibit (or selectively allow/prohibit) traffic from flowing between VLANS.As compared against one large network, several smaller networks can improve network efficiency because fewer hosts per network means reduced 'chattiness' of the network, especially with broadcast traffic which tends to be one of the things that can multiply exponentially. VLANs make it possible to segment the network into multiple broadcast domains.but I'll start with this: it depends on your objectives. If a VLAN is what I want, is there a way to do that in OpenWRT 21 with Luci? I watched some videos on setting up VLANs, but it looks like the settings in OpenWRT have since changed. Is a VLAN what I would want? I would still like layer 3 communications to work between VLANs, but want to isolate layer 2 traffic into smaller segments. I learned about the OSI model in school, but never really dove into it in practice.

I'd like to begin segmenting my network, but I don't have any idea on how to start. I suspect I'm getting into an ARP storm and eventually one of the unmanaged switches has hit its limits. Plugging in wireshark into one the ports on the central unmanaged switch, I get almost all MAC-specific-ctrl-proto-01 packets / MAC CTRL / Pause packets. At least 20 wired devices and 30 wireless devices.Ībout once a month, the whole wired part of the network goes down (my openwrt router's wifi still works, AP does not). and over time you can build technology to fight against the worst of the storm so your growing city can continue to exist and grow until you build the final tech that pushes back the q ueen's storm/wrath.īut those are just my ideas/musings/non canon head canon.I have a rather large home network with dozens upon dozens of devices, a router in AP mode, and 5 or 6 unmanaged switches. Over the years more landmasses are added at the edges of the map you control so you have access to more resources. Maybe a final challenge would be to outlast the queen's world destroying storm somehow in a megachallenge that lasts for 50+ years and you have to try and take care of the needs of like 5 or 6 different races.

I think it would be kickass if you find out over many iterations that the queen herself is actually responsible for creating the storms and calls upon a 'world ender' storm to wipe out rebellions or rebellious people trying to settle the lands or escape the area of influence of her control over the storms. There are so many directions the creators of this game can go in terms of the atmosphere and 'story.' The ruins you find are of previous iterations from previous viceroys, perhaps some went rogue and staged rebellions thinking the queen and her goals are lies? The true answers as to why the cycle continues endlessly and the origins of the storm are lost somewhere out there in the shifting lands. the better or more competent viceroys are responsible for the temporary progress made, but over the many generations corruption, decadence, or perhaps the queen herself is responsible for the ruin of the city. The smouldering city itself is continually rebuilt and brought to ruin. Every new cycle you play a new viceroy building off the legacy of the previous cycles. You the Viceroy are an unique individual, but you are still one of many serving in endless cycles of peasants sent out during safer periods to collect resources to store and use during the world destroying storm periods.Įvery time you click on the end c ycle button, your viceroy gains their just rewards and lives the rest of their days in the mountain city. My current headcanon is that the queen herself is responsible for the current state of the world.
