[ale] VLANs and logging

[Raj Wurttemberg]

I use pfSense for my firewall and router. pfSense makes setting up VLANs
trivial.  I have separate VLANs for my equipment, IoT, and for the kid's
Wi-Fi. I'm using Netgear smart switches, so it's pretty easy to make trunk
and tag ports for VLAN use.  The pfSense router/firewall also handles
firewalls, DHCP, and routing for all of the different VLANs.

Thanks,

Subject: [ale] VLANs and logging

I'm playing around with the idea of splitting a few things at home into
VLANs.  This would include one VLAN for phones, another for the general
computers, a third for IoT devices, a guest network, and one for the video
cameras.

The problem I'm trying to figure out is how to set things up so that the
devices with configurable syslogs (in this case phones, computers,
cameras) send their logs to my central logging server, allow the devices to
pick up their DHCP leases from the central DHCP server, and still have the
ability to reach the admin consoles for things like the phones and cameras.
