Viktor prefers not running two switches, so the TL-SG105PE takes over all rack duties (apartment uplink, 4G, UPS, camera PoE) and the CCTV segment moves onto a managed tagged trunk over the existing LAN1 cable: pfSense net3 re-pointed from vmbr2 to vmbr0 tag=30 (applied live; same MAC so vtnet3/dCCTV survived untouched). This is safe where the original 802.1Q rejection was not, because the managed switch is the only device on eno1 and polices VLAN-30 membership. eno2/vmbr2 kept dormant as the documented fallback. Old SG105E retires to cold spare; PE inherits 192.168.1.6. Glossary Segment term updated (all three segments are now bridge-tags feeding untagged pfSense vNICs).

# CCTV segment: dedicated pfSense interface, VLAN-30 trunk on the LAN1 cable
|
|
|
|
Status: accepted (2026-07-02, rev 3 — single-switch)
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
The first owned camera at the Sofia/Vermont site (`vermont-garage`, HiLook
|
|
IPC-T241H-C at the garage entrance) needs to be network-isolated: its cable is
|
|
physically exposed outside the apartment, so anything plugged into that cable
|
|
must land in a segment that can reach nothing. The original design doc
|
|
(NAS: `Emo shared/Claude shared/garage-camera/`) called for an "802.1Q trunk
|
|
to pfSense" — but nothing in this network terminates dot1q on pfSense; the
|
|
site idiom is one vlan-aware Proxmox bridge → one tagged VM NIC → one clean
|
|
untagged pfSense interface per segment.
|
|
|
|
**Decision (rev 3):** ONE switch — the new TL-SG105PE **replaces** the old
|
|
garage TL-SG105E (Viktor prefers not running two switches; retired unit
|
|
becomes a cold spare, its 192.168.1.6 mgmt IP passes to the PE). Five ports,
|
|
all used: apartment uplink, 4G router 192.168.1.7, UPS mgmt (all untagged
|
|
VLAN 1), the camera (untagged VLAN 30, PoE), and the **trunk to R730 `eno1`
|
|
carrying home LAN untagged + CCTV tagged 30** over the existing LAN1 cable.
|
|
pfSense `net3` (vtnet3) sits on `vmbr0` with `tag=30` — exactly the site
|
|
idiom used for dManagementsVms/dKubernetes (bridge-level tag → clean untagged
|
|
vNIC; pfSense still terminates no dot1q itself). The earlier dedicated
|
|
`eno2`/`vmbr2` leg is kept **dormant as a fallback** (rev 2 wired it; moving
|
|
net3 back to vmbr2 restores pure physical isolation in one `qm set`).
|
|
This narrows the earlier 802.1Q objection rather than contradicting it: the
|
|
rejection assumed *unmanaged* switches, where any LAN device could inject
|
|
tagged frames; with the managed PE as the only device on eno1, VLAN-30
|
|
membership is {camera port, trunk port} only, so tag-30 ingress from every
|
|
other port — and from the exposed camera cable — is dropped or contained.
|
|
Cameras are untrusted: default-deny on dCCTV with a single
|
|
NTP-to-gateway exception; Frigate (k8s) pulls RTSP in; ha-sofia (192.168.1.8)
|
|
may reach ISAPI/RTSP directly; home-LAN clients route in via an AX6000 static
|
|
route (10.0.30.0/24 via 192.168.1.2). 10.0.30.0/24 is deliberately NOT in the
|
|
10.0.20.0/22 trusted source-IP allowlist.
|
|
|
|
## Considered options
|
|
|
|
- **802.1Q over the LAN path behind an UNMANAGED switch** (the original plan
|
|
read this way) — rejected: any LAN device could inject tagged frames into
|
|
vmbr0 (`bridge-vids 2-4094`) and tag-passing through a dumb switch is
|
|
undefined. Rev 3 adopts the tagged path ONLY because the managed PE now
|
|
polices VLAN-30 membership at the single entry point to eno1; no bridge
|
|
reconfiguration was needed (vmbr0 was already vlan-aware).
|
|
- **Dedicated physical leg (eno2 → vmbr2 → net3), one switch per role**
|
|
(rev 1/2 as-built) — superseded by rev 3: it forced either a second switch
|
|
(6 connections vs 5 ports once the PE also replaced the old switch) or new
|
|
hardware. Strongest isolation of all options; kept dormant as the fallback.
|
|
- **AX6000 as the camera gateway** — rejected earlier in the design (consumer
|
|
router, no inter-VLAN firewall).
|
|
|
|
## Consequences
|
|
|
|
- The switch is now single-point and load-bearing for everything in the rack
|
|
(apartment uplink, pfSense backup-WAN via 4G, UPS mgmt, CCTV) AND its VLAN
|
|
table + mgmt password are part of the isolation boundary — the Easy Smart
|
|
mgmt UI answers on every port, so the password is the gate between a
|
|
compromised camera and the switch config. All 5 ports are consumed: the
|
|
next camera forces an 8-port PoE upgrade (the wiring plan already fits it).
|
|
- `eno2`/`vmbr2` stay cabled-ready but dormant (fallback to rev 2's physical
|
|
leg); eno3/eno4 remain free.
|
|
- The old TL-SG105E is retired to cold spare; the PE inherits 192.168.1.6
|
|
(Kea reservation by MAC).
|
|
- Revision history (all 2026-07-02): rev 1 assumed one shared PE with a
|
|
port-VLAN split (conflated the two devices); rev 2 split into two switches
|
|
after inspecting 192.168.1.6 (old non-PoE SG105E, 4/5 ports used); rev 3
|
|
consolidated back to one switch — the PE replacing the SG105E — per
|
|
Viktor's preference, moving CCTV onto a managed tagged trunk.
|
|
- Frigate's ADR-0016 VRAM budget was bumped 2000 → 2300 MiB for the extra
|
|
NVDEC stream.
