I don't think that using different networks at home is the appropriate way, limiting functionality.
Hmm, I would say it is both easy and appropriate - with DHCP it is easy to dish out the appropriate addresses and the firewall is easily set up to provide different privileges depending on the subnet. For instance, any unknown (undefined) device on my network is given addresses in a separate range, and given very limited access. This is for friends visiting with mobile devices. Similar with our VoIP devices.
That's a feature I miss on my setup; but on the other hand, I want mutual access between my computer and my gadgets, like the Chromecast: I can launch movies from my computer or phones, and also play movies stored on a local computer. Placing the Chromecast on another vlan would break features.
Nobody mentioned vlans (yet) - only subnetting. Regardless, even if you used vlans, you can still route between them, they don't break features. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (0.9°C) http://www.cloudsuisse.com/ - your owncloud, hosted in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
