Homelab Project

About the project

Having gone through several iterations, my current environment consists of a Cisco 3850 enterprise grade layer 3 core switch and distribution switch, a repurposed Dell R720 server, UPS and Cisco ASA firewall installed in a 12U rack.

Much experience has been obtained through setup and training exercises for CCNA & CCNP.

After initial configuration of the the firewall and core switch, my goal was to implement the following for my needs;

  • Segmented network with subnet and VLANS

  • Isolated Windows Server environment, with IPSec, LDAPS, Kerberos, Bitlockler GPO's for data encryption

  • Secure Wifi with guest access (WPA2)

  • RAID 10 setup for data redundancy

  • Host on-premises storage for security cameras and remote monitoring

  • Install SIEM dashboard and central logging server with Wazzuh

  • Automate vulnerability alerts based upon endpoint CVE's
