• two wans
  • lots of vlans
  • 32vcpu hypervisor with gpu passthrough
  • 25gbps san running off the nas

Everything I do is mostly with VMs, the hypervisor is diskless pxe booting off the SAN. I've been cleaning up my lab, it used to be a plank of wood https://discuss.online/post/44690398

There is a nanokvm hanging off the hypervisor (rs232,atx header, hid) which makes remote rebuilds quite painless. I love my inexpensive nanokvm.

What does your homelab look like?

    yeah, its just a gateway router with multiple wan inputs (up to 3), it does dhcp, routing, vpn termination, and manages all the vlan segmentation and cross routing.

    vlans don't route to each other, you need a device that routes between vlans (if you want traffic to cross)

    Well, yeah. VLANs work at layer 2. What you are routing is the subnet you assigned to each one.

    I just have never heard the term "cross routing" in my 30 years of networking.
