Dual IP Range - Without VLAN

[Dergonic]

Hi everyone

 

I'm currently setting up my camera system at home. I want it to be on another network (Ip range) as my main network. 

The main issue is that to my garage I want both network but I have only one cable and one switch. 

 

Let me detail the actual infrastructure :

I have a PfSense dedicated machine with one WAN, and 2 LAN : One is 10.10.10.1/24 which is my current main network (with DHCP, DNS, some NAT/port forward, ...), the second LAN is for the cameras with range 10.10.11.1/24 (No DHCP). 

I also have a proxmox server in 10.10.10.13 running a ubuntu (zoneminder) VM for the cameras (with dedicated NIC to 10.10.11.2).

I have two physical switch to manage both network.

PfSense, Proxmox and switches are all in a rack in my office upstairs. 

 

I have a dedicated copper link from my rack to the garage. 

I already have a mini consumer switch and an access point there which are running great (in the 10.10.10.x network).

 

There come the point : I want to setup a camera in my garage

My question is the follow : How can I wire all items on the same copper line ? Please notice none of my switch do have VLANS setup. And the one in the garage does not even have the option (unmanaged switch).

 

Thanks

Without VLANs your only option here is to manually setup Static IP addresses. However if you need the camera to share the same Default Gateway or otherwise have a path to the Internet you're not going to get around having it on the same Subnet as other devices unless you're willing to put the time into setting up the VLANs. That's why VLANs exist. To do what you're looking to do.

 

If you really need this camera alone on a network and it can't share a port on the un-managed switch your only other option I see is to take the time to run the line all the way back to the rack to one of the managed switches.
