I’m in need of some help. As it come to networking i’m a rather noob as a software engineer.
In my homelab i like to tighten things up. I have installed opnsense and would like to split up my vm’s into multiple vlans.
vlan0 for basic stuff, a dev vlan, prod vlan, gaming vlan, and last but not least a logging vlan.
I already have setup vswitches and port groups in vmware esxi but i’m stuck on the logging vlan.
My initial plan was to give every vm a second vnic inside the logging vlan to send every logging/monitoring to grafan or nagios and stuff. However today I came to the conclusion that if every vm is inside a logging vlan all vm’s can still interact.
I don’t have any knowledge about vlan trunking, but what is a good option or best practice.
What I would like : some vms are in the specified vlans and every vm needs to be monitored and logs send to grafana?
I can setup routes between each vlan to the logging vlan is that an option?**
