Home Lab Network Security! - vlans, firewall, micro-segmentation

One of the most important aspects of building out your home lab environmment is giving attention to your home network design. Network segmentation is a core component of securing your home lab network, segmenting traffic, and protecting your network resources. In the video we talk about how to properly design your network with VLANs, using a firewall to filter traffic from specific resources
