Omada setup for Omada Newbie - Sanity check
Hi everybody,
I'm tired of my HomeLab/Home+Workshop network setup, curently I use in home PfSense router on Topton n5105 with 4x 2.5G, some unmanaged 2.5G+10G SFP switch and some Cudy 16port 1G managed switch, and Cudy WR3000 AP. On the other site i've got some Xiaomi AX3000T router witch OpenWRT and random 8port 1G switch. It's a mess for administration or maintenance and VPN performance and stability is a crap.
I know that 99% of my problem is skill issue and a lack of time spend on this mess but I'm not a networking kind of guy.
I want some simple yet capable network with central management. Network for me is just a tool for making others fun kind of things like servers and 3D printing.
Ubiquity ecosystem is extremely expensive where I live - like about 4x more than Omada so i think the Omada setup can be perfect for me.
I've got two sites:
A - Home
Internet connection:
Fibre, static, public IP
1000Mbps DOWN, 300Mbps UP
This is my main location with NASes, some simple Proxmox lab and other home network misc.
B - Workshop
Internet connection:
Fibre, static, public IP
700Mbps DOWN, 200Mbps UP
My workshop/mancave with 3D printers and bunch of other stuff.
With my basic network knowledge i pick some Omada stack, please help me check if I don't make some rookie mistakes.
Site A - Home:
[ISP]
│
[ER707-M2 (Omada)] ←→ [ER706W (Omada)] (site-to-site VPN)
│
[ES210X-M2 Core Switch]
├── NAS#1 SFP+ 10G
├── NAS#2 SFP+ 10G
├── ES208G #1 Access Switch (MGMT/Proxmox)
├── ES208G #2 Access Switch (Untrusted/KVM)
└── EAP650 AP (WiFi)
Site B - Workshop:
[ISP]
│
[ER706W (Omada)] ←→ [ER707-M2 (Omada)] (site-to-site VPN)
│
[ES210X-M2 Core Switch]
└── ES208G #1 Access Switch
I have a plenty of space for Omada SDN Controller VM, also I need a stable and reliable site-to-site VPN, probably IPsec, which will utilize all of my bandwidth without bottlenecks.
For mobile i think i can pick wireguard.
Do I make some mistakes or the setup is good and I can start to spend my money? :D
Thanks in advance — I’d really appreciate any feedback before I pull the trigger.
