Network Expansion

After two years of Homelab the time has come to expand my IP pools and introduce a second, entirely separate physical network.

My 192.168.1.0 network is rapidly running out of usable IP addresses. I also like to batch IP addresses when wanting multiple for a project.

So my new project will be to setup a new 192.169.4.1/23 network, giving me 512 usable IP addresses and freeing up IPs on the hone network, amd away from the consumer router that frustrates me so much.

My first job following network install will be to move the first of three Proxmox Server over to the new network. Then the task of updating all static IPs to with there new addresses.

As an aside the new network will also have two vlans each with there own set of 254 addresses.

This is a long overdue project to finally tidy my physical network, and, properly airgap my homelab.
