I decided to drop my participation in the community sub-committee and focus on other things. In so doing, I have moved the Experiment Pod to the HomeLab rack. I decided to change out the rack and put the entire Experiment Pod panel into the rack as well as an Edgerouter-X to give the ExPod vlan a dhcp source and isolate it from the rest of the network. The unmanaged 8 port switch is there as well to connect to each of the ExPod RPis.
In addition, I have added a managed switch (GS108Tv3) to offload the number of connections to the key managed switch outside of the HomeLab rack.
