Switch

Zyxel GS1900-24E

Managed switch handling all traffic. Configured for handling VLAN tagged and untagged traffic.

Specs

  • 24-port managed Gigabit
  • VLAN-aware (802.1Q)

A 24-port managed Gigabit switch that carries every wired connection in the homelab. It’s configured for 802.1Q VLAN tagging, trunking the 8 VLANs to the OPNsense firewall while presenting untagged access ports to devices that don’t need to be VLAN-aware themselves.

Configuration here is handled through the switch’s own web UI rather than Ansible. It’s touched rarely enough (port/VLAN assignment doesn’t change often) that automating it hasn’t been worth the effort relative to the rest of the stack.
