[ale] VLANs and logging

[Jim Kinney]

So you have a manageable switch that does vlans. Ports are assigned to specific vlans ids. To bridge vlans requires either vlan combination at a port or an external device like a multi homed server.

For small locations like homes with under 20k devices, it's easier to use literal private networks. Guest network is one class C, phones get another, iot another, etc. Use the dhcp server as the bridge/firewall/router between all. Assign fixed IPs by mac in the dhcp for servers, printers, and such, and dynamic for everything else based on which nic port the request arrives on at the dhcp server.
