  • Nice thinking 😊

    That being said, network vlan are gr8 for Network security. Since you plan on using L2 switch, having many vlan will require going back to router every time you initiate communication between 2 vlans.

    Here’s my 2 cents:

    • guest and IOT is a no-brainer. They need to be secured.
    • I would have an internal vlan, 1 for internet/dmz (depending on your needs),1 for iot, and 1 for guest
    • unless you want to do some serious security firewall rules, server vlan probably overkill.
    • Out of band management vlan is nice, but most consumers’ network equipment don’t have a dedicated port for that. So, it’s probably overkill in your scenario.
    • put as many streaming devices (media, tv) on a physical ethernet cable to reduce latency.

    Happy design!
