Project #26 - Making a Gateway interface for the Retirement Community WiFi Network

In addition to interfacing the rack equipment to the Retirement Community WiFi Network (GSV-Network), I need to have a couple of interfaces that can be connected to by my personal laptop and iPhone/iPad.  I have those devices connected to the GSV-Network directly and need to determine if I can port redirect from the rack equipment to provide some services to myself.  In addition, I need to have the ability to access any of the vlans that I have defined by using my laptop anywhere in the community for updates and HomeLab things.  This of course will require a number of tests.

UPDATE (2022-06-08):  Project is currently paused in order to fixate on one and only one project at a time.

HomeLabUpdate #01 - Initial Rack Setup

 As I came into the Apartment, I had setup the rack to have (from top to bottom):

  • 24 port patch panel
  • Ubiquiti Edgerouter-12 Router
  • Short shelf for KVM and regular switch/ER-X
  • Netgear M4100-26g Switch
  • Panel with 4 Raspberry Pi 4s (RPiInject, RPiCICD, RPiLDAP, RPiPlex)
  • Panel with 4 Raspberry Pi 3Bs (RPiSecure, RPiPower3, RPiPower2, RPiPower1)
  • Shelf for containing WDMyCloud drives
  • Open area (2U) TBD on contents
  • Proxmox Server (2U case)
  • APC UPS (1U)

I had left 6 Ethernet cables connected, numbered #8-1 through #8-6.  When I got to the apartment, I added the GL-iNet SLATE router (in Repeater mode, without second SSID) as the input to the apartment's wifi system.  My printer is connected to the wifi system and I have connected the HA-IOT server to the back of my Acer Monitor with connections through the 4-way KVM switch.
