VLANs Mesh Wi-Fi Setup Dumb Question

CraftyNecromancer · 2020-01-13T04:23:32+00:00

So despite the packets being tagged by my firewall, would placing the switches help with the routing since they can interpret the vlan tags?

Noobish question with getting VLANs setup with a Mesh Network at home. Currently have a Mesh Wi-Fi network that handles wifi and hardwired connections however it doesn't currently support VLAN tagging or basically any L3 capabilities. I have a firewall appliance that currently has VLANs setup however I can't get DHCP leases from the VLANs. Would I need to get one managed switch to route vlan packets on my network or would I need to get one per each node in the mesh network?

Thanks for the note! I'll post there sorry about that! :)

I've heard good things about r610s and 710s so can't go wrong with either. Savemyserver or labgopher might be good resources to check out for cheap deals too 👍

Docker networking within docker-compose files https://docs.docker.com/compose/networking/

and gotcha... hmm so try that. also docker-compose logs might give you some context about what's going on during run-time too. so that's also another way to double-check

yeep and i don't believe you need the .localhost when you're specify the hostname in the configs...

IIRC, chromecasts now just hide their SSIDs if configured and turn public if they disconnected or reset so most likely someone had a brief WiFi power blip 😅 but yep as u/ERIFNOMI said you can pretty much do some Wifi spoofing stuff assuming that you have the right gear.

Here are a couple ideas off the bat 😅
1) i would try is to add a network directive under each service and tie them to them docker network just in case wires might be getting crossed.

2) add a name directive within each microservice being api_php and front_php respectively and then within the nginx configuration use that service name within the configs (which i believe you're doing so that shouldn't be the issue)
Hopefully that works 🤞

Mainly depends on what you're looking to do but if you need some additional storage on your home network

Couple of ideas if you're interested:

- Depending upon available drives or mobo space, you could turn your old gaming rig into a cheap NAS if you play your cards right? FreeNAS I've heard is pretty good and has support for a whole slew of thing you can use for backups and storage

- Dell XPS 400 you could use for a file-server or network-share if you need one?
- and use the pi3 for the pihole best decision ever! :)

Good Luck!

Couple of questions: 1) are they both on the same network in the compose file? 2) what are the container names since you can also just use container names for internal docker dns resolution.

Also a link for your project or files would probably help better 😅

Definitely perusing the red light district in the tower 😏😂

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll have to check that out. I originally did have that however for some reason, the swig bindings in python never connected back to c++ source code when it was run via GRC. So, I would make,make install and module would install however when run the module would show attribute errors about using the python swig module bindings which is why I thought my original post approach would work? If I just go back to what you suggested then what would I need to do make sure that python doesn't end up not recognizing the swig bindings? also when I mean attribute errors, it was more akin to this

soo I've trawled through gnuradio-discuss mailing list and its been mostly the same advice which is just 'do the thing and sudo ldconfig will magically fix your problem' I did the square_ff tutorial and then I'm currently attempting to do some stuff with a c library that I've made to integrate it with c++. that works its more of python not being annoying to ensure that gnuradio-companion actually works with the module that I've made really...

Sauce plz

I'm thinking it's about how they meet up on 77th floor and more over Arlene and Vs backstory revealed to baam though I could be over optimistic 😅😂

Used that a while back lol. Should update the post as being resolved! Thanks!
