Right then.

With the core in place for normal, regular home service it has been time for fun with the build of the lab network.

Due to what needs to be built and a desire to minimise the network junk outside of my cabinet alongside using the physical appliances there is some great fun here involving the UDM Pro, one of the 10G switches, another physical GigE switch, 2 more physical routers, 2 SD-WAN appliances.

The logical construct involves an L2TP tunnel to simulate more direct Internet access to the SD-WAN , 4 BGP sessions to simulate an MPLS network and route import/export, a basic 3 node OSPF area to exchange LAN routes and obviously some logical and physical segmentation in terms of VLANs and vNICs.

Then the easiest part: the SD-WAN IKE-less IPSEC/UDP tunnels.

So that's how I spent a part of my working day.

Incidentally the dual-WAN will be active-passive so don't expect any super-high speed tests.

Carl, just been reading about you and your house in PCPro, it's ludicrous that they installed 7 phone points and no network sockets, absolutely clueless and incompetent idiots.

Hah forgot about that.
