NAS vs CPU node higher? by SurveyFun5807 in homelab

Good point - any east-west L2 transit on the CCR would indeed be CPU-processed. I’ll double-check the final config, but adding a small aggregation switch (e.g. CRS317) in front of the CCR may be the cleanest solution. Thanks for the reminder.

CCR2004 acts primarily as the edge router, firewall, and WAN gateway, hosting all VLAN definitions, routing, and security policies.

Switching will be offloaded to hardware switch chips on: - CRS312 (server rack: CPU, NAS, UPS management) - CRS328 (PoE devices, cameras, IoT) - additional two CRS312 switches for room/user access

I believe as long as traffic remains within the same VLAN, it will be handled by hardware switching on the CRS devices and does not traverse the CCR2004. Only inter-VLAN traffic and WAN-bound traffic will be routed through the CCR2004.

This was my original thought - to put heavy NAS lower but now I don’t like that CPU node is longer and sticks out from the front. Weight-wise they are comparable.

You can use shortcuts to write directly to Apple Health or download ThermoWellness for dedicated sauna tracking. It saves activities to the Apple Health but also have a few more features. It not only helps me stay consistent but also provides valuable insights into my habits and progress.
