Caution: boring tech porn blather ahead!
It recently became obvious to me that the lab I had setup for our development team was not aging very well. When I first configured it, I was under the impression that creating a boatload of VLANs and using routing everywhere was the way to go. Of course that belief held true for about 2 days, ’til I realized that what we really need is an agile network, of which subsets can be reconfigured in no time, to mimic particular real-life configurations.
Thus, my new setup is going to be as follows:
- An edge switch, that will connect the lab to the outside world
- A core of routers that will be immutable
- Everything else will vary daily
