# VLANs Guide
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Purpose of VLANs
|
||||
|
||||
Separate a network in to smaller segments.<br>
|
||||
This can improve securirty, ease of managment,
|
||||
reduce unnecessary chatter that can congest larger networks.
|
||||
|
||||
### Hardware
|
||||
|
||||
Whats required before thinking about vlans.
|
||||
|
||||
* **Managed switches** as oppose to cheaper typical *"dumb switches"*,
|
||||
as majority of the configuration of vlans is done on switches.<br>
|
||||
* **HPE/Aruba** - super reliable, easy to manage, enterprise-grade switches
|
||||
that won't break the bank if it's just about 1gbit.
|
||||
* **Mikrotik** or **Ubiquiti** - usually when in need of something
|
||||
special, like 2.5gbit with some sfp+ or poe
|
||||
* **TP-Link** - when just want something cheap, like poe switch for cameras
|
||||
* A **router/firewall/gateway** device that supports vlans.
|
||||
This will be the linchpin at the center, with separate settings
|
||||
for each vlan - being their gateway, providing them with separate dhcp,
|
||||
applying firewall rules between them,...<br>
|
||||
* **opnsense** - is what I [use](https://github.com/DoTheEvo/selfhosted-apps-docker/tree/master/opnsense),
|
||||
installed as a virtual machine, but can be installed on any regular old pc,
|
||||
or a miniPC with two intel NICs.
|
||||
* **Ubiquiti UCG-Ultra** - solid go-to recommendation.
|
||||
<details>
|
||||
<summary>Reasons...</summary>
|
||||
* it is **very easy to configure**.
|
||||
* 100€.
|
||||
* ok hardware - 4x arm cores, 3GB RAM, informative lcd display, usb-c power.
|
||||
* full of features - vlans, wireguard VPN, cloud remote managment,
|
||||
geoblocking, basic IDPS, DNS base adblocking, unifi controller for wifi APs,...
|
||||
</details>
|
||||
* **Mikrotik** devices are a good pick, but their configuration can be
|
||||
overwhelming. I gave up and use just their switches.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
You should know about IP addresses, Mac addresses, packets, frames,
|
||||
swiches, routers, about existance of first 4 OSI layers,..

|
||||
|
||||
### Two types of VLANs
|
||||
|
||||
* **Port based**<br>
|
||||
A simple separation of ports on a switch,
|
||||
as if you would cut it in to several smaller switches.
|
||||
This is boring, limiting and generally **useless**,
|
||||
as you would need to deal with extra cables, extra interfaces, extra hardware..
|
||||
* **Tag based**<br>
|
||||
The real deal vlan. At layer2 a **vlan tag** is added to frames.
|
||||
It contains a **vlan ID** which is a number between 1 and 4094.
|
||||
These are used to create virtual networks that are separate
|
||||
from each other but share same hardware, same cables.<br>
|
||||
The standard is called **802.1Q**.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Some aspects:
|
||||
|
||||
* **Tags** are added or removed from **frames** at physical ports,
|
||||
when entering or leaving switch.
|
||||
* A tag is 4 bytes in size, contains [several pieces of info](https://i.imgur.com/86zeYgG.png),
|
||||
the most important being vlan ID.
|
||||
* **Vlan ID** (VID) is just a number between 1-4094, often picked as
|
||||
multiplies of ten - 10, 20, 30, 40, ... with the ip address pool on that VLAN
|
||||
having it somewhere too.<br>
|
||||
Like vlan30 would be set as 192.168.30.0/24 or 10.30.30.0/24.
|
||||
* A **frame** can be tagged only for a **single vlan**,
|
||||
but a port can belong to many vlans.
|
||||
* Tagged frames **get dropped** if they would arrive to a regular machine,
|
||||
not configured for vlans.
|
||||
|
||||
### The Core concept
|
||||
|
||||
The **absofucking essence** of VLANs is a clear understanding of two types
|
||||
of ports - untagged and tagged.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
* **Untagged ports**<br>
|
||||
Called untagged because frames coming in to a switch, or leaving the switch
|
||||
through that one port are not tagged. So that the end device can actually
|
||||
communicate without the need to be configured for vlans.<br>
|
||||
While the inbound frames, the ones entering the switch through this port
|
||||
are untagged at the moment of entering, they are tagged once inside the switch
|
||||
according to **PVID** settings for that port, so that they can exit only
|
||||
through other ports tagged with that same VLAN.<br>
|
||||
Untagged ports are **used for end user devices** unaware of vlans - computers,
|
||||
printers, ip cameras, IoT devices,...<br>
|
||||
These are sometimes called **access ports**, as thats cisco term for them.
|
||||
* **PVID** - Port Vlan ID<br>
|
||||
Is a setting on a port. Incoming frames entering switch that are not tagged
|
||||
get tagged with this PVID number.<br>
|
||||
It might feel weird that for an untagged port you are setting both VLAN ID
|
||||
and PVID when VLAN ID should be enough. It feels like duplication of effort...
|
||||
but its there to solve some hybrid cases.
|
||||
* **Tagged ports**<br>
|
||||
Tagged frames going in and out of this kind of ports. Tagged port can carry many
|
||||
VLANs simultaneously if set so, or can carry just one.
|
||||
Purpose is to communicate with other vlan aware devices,
|
||||
like other switches, routers, servers/virtual machines, IP telephones,...<br>
|
||||
Of note is that setting a port to **vlan 4095** allows all vlans to traverse,
|
||||
though it can be manufacturer dependent, if its even allowed to set vlan above
|
||||
`4094`.<br>
|
||||
* **Trunk port**<br>
|
||||
A type of tagged port. The term is used for ports that carry multiple vlans,
|
||||
usually the ones connecting switch with another switch or a server or a router,..<br>
|
||||
A tagged port that is not a trunk port would be for example a port that carries
|
||||
just one vlan to a VoIP phone.
|
||||
* **Native vlan**<br>
|
||||
Frames belonging to native vlan leave the trunk port untagged.
|
||||
The initial reason for the existence of this is to allow older dumb switches
|
||||
to be part of the infrastructure, in between two managed ones.

# Setting up VLANs on Routers
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Your vlan aware router wil be the linchpin at the center,
|
||||
the gateway to the internet for all vlans, the dhpc server for all vlans,
|
||||
the firewall for all vlans,...
|
||||
|
||||
#### The usual generic steps
|
||||
|
||||
* creating a new interface or a new network with a specific Vlan ID.
|
||||
* setting a static IP address / subnet the router will have on that network.
|
||||
* setting the dhcp pool for for that network.
|
||||
* maybe enable or restrict the traffic through firewall rules

|

For VLAN aware devices on the network to get through
|
||||
|
||||
* Edit the port group with the opnsense VM LAN interface
|
||||
and add VLAN ID = `4095`<br>
|
||||
This will allow all VLANs to get through
|
||||
|
||||
For a virtual machine on that ESXI host should be on that VLAN
|
||||
|
||||
* Add new port group, to the virtual switch that opnsense uses for LAN<br>
|
||||
Name = `vlan20`; VLAN ID = `20`
|
||||
|
||||
Now you can edit a VM or create new one, set its Network Adapter to `vlan20`
|
||||
and it should get ip address from the vlan 20 dhcp pool.
|
||||
|
||||
This is a good test if stuff works as it should before diving in to configuration
|
||||
of VLANs on switches.

# Setting up VLANs on switches
|
||||
|
||||
There are three settings for a port:
|
||||
|
||||
* **PVID** - applies to all <ins>untagged</ins> frames **entering**
|
||||
the port - ingress. PVID sets vlanID, let's say to `1`
|
||||
This connects the port with all other ports belonging to that `vlan-1`.
|
||||
* **Untagged** - similar to PVID but this setting is applied to the frames
|
||||
**leaving** the port, leaving the switch - egress.
|
||||
The name `untagged` is telling the whole story - the frames are leaving
|
||||
the switch <ins>untagged</ins>, the tag is removed before they leave...
|
||||
and the fact that the port is untagged for `vlan-1` means the port
|
||||
is connected with all other ports belonging to that `vlan-1`.<br>
|
||||
Usually a port has the same `PVID` and `Untagged` number set.
|
||||
* **Tagged** - similar to `untagged`, it is about the frames **leaving**
|
||||
the port, but this setting is saying that the frames leave with specific
|
||||
vlan tag, expecting the device connected to this port to be vlan aware.<br>
|
||||
A port can have both untagged and tagged set.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
What happens immediately after you enable VLANs on a switch?
|
||||
|
||||
* Everything should still work as before.
|
||||
* All ports switch to be untagged ports. So they strip any vlan tags from
|
||||
outbound frames.
|
||||
* PVID on all ports is set to 1, so that incoming frames get tagged as vlan 1,
|
||||
so all ports can communicate with each other.
|
||||
|
||||
What happens next is you pick a trunk port, the one communicating with the router
|
||||
or a switch through which multiple vlan goes as set it accordingly to belong to
|
||||
all vlans.<br>
|
||||
Then pick which ports have device that should be together and separated from the
|
||||
rest and set their vland and PVID.

|

Got [TL-SG108PE](https://www.tp-link.com/us/home-networking/8-port-switch/tl-sg108pe/)
|
||||
thats a managed switch with PoE. At the moment the situation
|
||||
is that opnsense LAN port is connected to port 7 and testing notebook
|
||||
is connected to port 6.
|
||||
|
||||
* VLAN > 802.1Q VLAN > set port 7 as tagged and port 6 as untagged.
|
||||
* VLAN > 802.1Q PVID Setting > set port 6 with vlan tag 20
|
||||
|
||||
Dunno what is the reason there are two settings, they say PVID is setting
|
||||
specifically to tags incoming frames that come without any tag... but I cant
|
||||
imagine a situation where one would want different number between these two.

|

* **Bridge** section is where all the settings are happening.<br>
|
||||
This setup is simple layer 2, no routing, not doing anything with interfaces.
|
||||
* Have a **bridge**, create a new one if you have clean config<br>
|
||||
Assign all the physical ports to this bridge in **Bridge > Ports**
|
||||
* Define **VLANs** in **Bridge > VLANs** that it should handle.<br>
|
||||
Set which ports are tagged and which untagged for that vlan
|
||||
* untagged - **outgoing** frames are normal - access port - PCs, Printers, TVs,..
|
||||
* tagged - **outgoing** frames are tagged - trunks - servers, gateways, wifi APs,...
|
||||
* Set **PVIDs** for the ports in **Bridge > Ports**<br>
|
||||
PVID is about **incoming untagged** frames entering the switch,
|
||||
what VLAN tag should they get as they move through switch.
|

By default mikrotik switches give tag 1 to all ports.

# Mounting Network Shares in Linux
|
||||
# Mounting at Boot Network Shares
|
||||
|
||||
possible ways to mount stuff - fstab, autofs, systemd, docker volumes if its for docker
|
||||
Many ways to mount - fstab, autofs, systemd, fuse, gvfs,...<br>
|
||||
but the current go-to is **systemd mount**.
|
||||
|
||||
possible types of shares
|
||||
There are two distinct ways to mount with systemd
|
||||
|
||||
* smb/samba/cifs - the most common share, support on all OS
|
||||
* nfs - mostly used between linux machines, bit better performance
|
||||
* iSCSI - the share is mounted as a block device as if it was really a disk,
|
||||
great performance for small files
|
||||
* **mount** service is enabled<br>
|
||||
straight up simple mounting at boot, high expectation that the network share
|
||||
is always available during the boot, it's simple and easy to control
|
||||
order of execution, retries, time outs, easy to debug,
|
||||
best for servers, docker hosts,...
|
||||
* **automount** service is enabled<br>
|
||||
the mounting happens at the first demand to access the path,
|
||||
does not wait during boot for the mount to really happen, less predictable,
|
||||
can auto-umount on idle, good for users machines
|
||||
|
||||
More on setup of these shares is in
|
||||
[TrueNAS Scale guide.](https://github.com/DoTheEvo/selfhosted-apps-docker/tree/master/trueNASscale)
|
||||
|
||||
# smb/samba/cifs
|
||||
# Samba / SMB / CIFS
|
||||
|
||||
[Arch wiki](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/samba#As_systemd_unit)
|
||||
on samba systemd mount
|
||||
|
||||
* you will create two files in `/etc/systemd/system`
|
||||
* one will have extension `.mount` the other `.automount`
|
||||
* the name will be the same for both and it MUST correspond with the planned
|
||||
mount path. Slashes `/` being replaced by dashes `-`.<br>
|
||||
So if the share should be at `/mnt/mirror` the files are named
|
||||
`mnt-mirror.mount` and `mnt-mirror.automount`
|
||||
* copy paste the bellow content, edit as you see fit,
|
||||
changing description, ip address and path, user and password,..
|
||||
* linux command `id` will show your current user `uid` and `gid`
|
||||
* after ther changes execute command `sudo systemctl enable mnt-mirror.automount`
|
||||
This will setup mounting that does not fail on boot if there are network issues,
|
||||
and really mounts the target only on request
|
||||
* Have `/mnt/pool` directory ready on the client - `sudo mkdir /mnt/pool`
|
||||
* will be creating a mount file in `/etc/systemd/system/`<br>
|
||||
the name MUST correspond with the planned mount location,
|
||||
just slashes `/` are replaced with dashes `-`<br>
|
||||
So if the share should be mounted at `/mnt/pool` the file is:<br>
|
||||
`/etc/systemd/system/mnt-pool.mount`
|
||||
```ini
|
||||
[Unit]
|
||||
Description=Mount MergerFS Pool or Whatever
|
||||
After=network-online.target
|
||||
Wants=network-online.target
|
||||
# Before=docker.service
|
||||
|
||||
`mnt-mirror.mount`
|
||||
```ini
|
||||
[Mount]
|
||||
What=//10.0.19.80/pool
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
[Install]
|
||||
WantedBy=multi-user.target
|
||||
```
|
||||
* enable the mount service `sudo systemctl enable mnt-pool.mount`
|
||||
* done
|
||||
|
||||
### Automount version
|
||||
|
||||
If the machine is just an end user PC or a notebook,
|
||||
or no service really depends on that share being present straight from boot,
|
||||
or a notebook moves between networks and share is not always there...
|
||||
we can use automount that mounts the share only when something tries to access
|
||||
the path.
|
||||
|
||||
* disable mount service if already enabled:
|
||||
`sudo systemctl disable mnt-pool.mount`
|
||||
* we add another file next to the mount file, named exactly the same,
|
||||
except the extension is `automount`, so here it would be:<br>
|
||||
`/etc/systemd/system/mnt-pool.automount`
|
||||
```ini
|
||||
[Unit]
|
||||
Description=Mount MergerFS Pool or Whatever
|
||||
|
||||
[Automount]
|
||||
Where=/mnt/pool
|
||||
# TimeoutIdleSec=3600 # Unmount after 1 hour idle
|
||||
|
||||
[Install]
|
||||
WantedBy=multi-user.target
|
||||
```
|
||||
* we enable this automount service:
|
||||
`sudo systemctl enable --now mnt-pool.automount`
|
||||
* done
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Useful commands
|
||||
|
||||
`smbclient -L 10.0.19.11` - list shares mounted from the ip<br>
|
||||
`systemctl list-units -t mount --all`

|
||||
only the content of the systemd unit files changes.

### NFS - windows
|

|

For Windows NFS clients, write access often requires `all_squash`
|
||||
with a defined anonuid/anongid, because Windows does not send linux uid/gid
|
||||
information. Something like this:<br>
|
||||
`/mnt/pool 10.0.19.0/24(rw,async,no_subtree_check,all_squash,anonuid=1000,anongid=1000,fsid=1)`
|
||||
|
||||
**Windows Client**
|
||||
|
||||
* must be windows pro, not windows home
|
||||
* add windows component in the control panel - `Services for NFS` - `Client for NFS`
|
||||
* cmd, not powershell - `mount \\10.0.19.80\mnt\pool N:`

# Setting up VLANs on switches
|
||||
|
||||
There are three settings for a port:
|
||||
|
||||
* **PVID** - applies to all <ins>untagged</ins> frames **entering**
|
||||
the port - ingress. PVID sets vlanID, let's say to `1`
|
||||
This connects the port with all other ports belonging to that `vlan-1`.
|
||||
* **Untagged** - similar to PVID but this setting is applied to the frames
|
||||
**leaving** the port, leaving the switch - egress.
|
||||
The name `untagged` is telling the whole story - the frames are leaving
|
||||
the switch <ins>untagged</ins>, the tag is removed before they leave...
|
||||
and the fact that the port is untagged for `vlan-1` means the port
|
||||
is connected with all other ports belonging to that `vlan-1`.<br>
|
||||
Usually a port has the same `PVID` and `Untagged` number set.
|
||||
* **Tagged** - similar to `untagged`, it is about the frames **leaving**
|
||||
the port, but this setting is saying that the frames leave with specific
|
||||
vlan tag, expecting the device connected to this port to be vlan aware.<br>
|
||||
A port can have both untagged and tagged set.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
What happens immediately after you enable VLANs on a switch?
|
||||
|
||||
* Everything should still work as before.
