Home Lab – Security

Tagged networks and XCPNG

On the main interface, it does not filter out the tagged networks packets. It sends tagged and untagged packets to the VM’s that are on that interface.

When you need a VM to communicate on different vlans, it is easy for it to work.

When you want your VM to be isolated, you need to have it on a vlan. This is a Very important thing to be aware of.

For a better security posture, no VM should be on the main interface in XCPNG.

NetAlertX Up and running

I have NetAlertX up and running. It is configured to see all devices on all networks (vlans) from ARP requests.

Still to do.

  • Configure devices and tweak settings
  • Set up notifications for external alerting
