Tips #10 - Network Setup for Raspberry Pi Static Experiments

After some time working with Raspberry Pis (RPi) I have been able to figure out the kind of network setup that makes sense when you develop over a period of time.  Here are some particulars of what I have found:

• Use of a Managed Switch with a trunk line to all of the vlans in the house saves a lot of running around.
• Use of Tasmota controlled extension cables can give you control of power to the RPis in case there are moments when you only want to concentrate on specific RPis for an experiment
• The managed switch on the desk where you wire up experiments gives you extra network connections when needed.
• The key is to be able to work on just what you want without having other thins on when you don’t need them to be on.
