Other than authentication of course, are simple MAC Address based static IPv4 reservations and VLan tags enough to keep my management interfaces out of sight and out of mind on a common subnet/scope with all my internal traffic, ie. Safe ?
I am in the process of opening things up a bit to the outside world (family) and just want to ensure that curious grandkids are kept at bay.
This is simply my home setup, so the plan is to NOT Manage my switches and have OPNsense take care of everything for ease of management.
I could have my Netgear MS510TX (my agro/tor) but I purchased it for it's mixed bag of connection speeds and pseudo management, not Netgear's 1990 Web admin console. The only thing I want to use of it's features are to trunk a couple of the ports to feed another managed switch (old Dell, which isn't any better looking management-wise).
So, nothing matches, no easy central management.... for everyone else, there's Ubiquity...LOL
If I am looking at this all wrong, please let me know. Suggestions are not only welcome, but appreciated.
thanks.
