    IPMI VLAN

    This VLAN groups the IPMI or IPMI-like interfaces for all servers in the homelab so that each machine can be remotely accessed. Most importantly, this access can be restricted via VLAN firewall rules.

    Network Boot VLAN

    This an exclusive VLAN for configuring the servers to network boot.

    Homelab VLAN

    This is the main VLAN for servers to communicate with one another, as well as, the external internet.
