I’m not much of a networking person. But I understand the importance of different vlans. Currently I have 4 separate vlans that I change my PCs ip address to access If I buy a four-port nic and assign each port to a separate lan does the computer know which port to use to access the appropriate traffic or is there something else I should be doing instead?
Only the main network has access to the outside internet and it would be nice to have one system that could access everything. Or even allow my email server access to different vlans to send out alerts.
- Main network
- NVR & Cameras
- KVM & IPMI
- Various equipment
My main system is normally powered off so I wouldn’t see this as an added security risk But it would definitely save some time when I sit down to check things out
My main network is on a N4064 - 192.168 two separate vlans on a N3048P - 10.10 the other is on a dumb switch - 10.2 vlans are setup within pfsense.
I know how to assign ports within both Dell switches but then I have to physically move my patch cable and frankly I’m lazy
It was setup for me and I was only shown how to hop back and forth. I’m not a networking guy at all so I’m trying to learn, and I assumed there was a better way.
Would like the NVR to have access to both the camera vlan and the main network and give my main computer access to the equipment vlan I have a system on that vlan that runs my CNC routers/3d printers that I’d like to keep from the Internet be great to just have the access on my main pc usually access it through the kvm
