Network Map Sanity Check

You_are_a_cunt

I'll be moving in a couple months (ish) and a new apartment means a new network map. Been a year since I've moved into my current apartment and I never got around to getting the network set up properly (mostly due to the fact that it sort of came pre-wired to some extent).

Entry channel will be fiber, going through a physical firewall, then a fiber switch, finally getting to the router, where the mapping will start

Excuse the crude design, I'm currently at work and I can't be bothered to create a diagram online, so I'm sticking to ol' Notepad

		    |
		    *----- Reserved 8 from router to switch

= redundant connection

 

As of yet, I am unsure of the router's model (I assume it will be the same Huawei router the ISP provided me)

The redundancy for Phoenix will probably be just two cables that I can swap between (since I won't have a 5th gigabit port available on the router) or it will be a dedicated line from the switch (the one between the firewall and the router)

The SW_8_100 is an 8 port 10/100 switch (currently out of 8 port gigabit switches which is a major bummer, but I can manage even on 10/100). This will be upgraded at a later time to a 10/100/1000 as the need arises.

 

The 3 open ports on the switch should be enough in case of LAN party or if I have any build in progress or up for maintenance/servicing.

 

Have I missed anything or is there anything that I should (re)consider?

HA! First person outside my office that knows what Meraki is.

It's not an AP, it's a multi-purpose server that I named Meraki since it used to be a FreeNAS box.
