Project Overview

Welcome to the Enterprise Homelab documentation. This environment is the foundation for NetDevOps experiments, Cisco networking labs, and Linux systems administration.

Architecture

Section titled “Architecture”
Hybrid Lab Network Topology Hybrid Lab Network Topology

Figure 1: Physical network architecture with collapsed core design.

A hybrid infrastructure combining physical Cisco hardware with a Proxmox cluster: physical switches for real Layer 2/3 behavior, virtual machines for emulation and services.

Current Status

Section titled “Current Status”
  1. Architecture: HP t740 compute node, Catalyst 3560-CX core, 2960 access — documented in Hardware Specs.
  2. Hypervisor: Proxmox VE on the t740 with nested virtualization for EVE-NG.
  3. Networking: VLANs, trunking on Cisco switches; Tailscale mesh for remote access.
  4. Emulation: EVE-NG bridging virtual IOS nodes to physical switch ports.
  5. Observability: Prometheus and Grafana — planned (post-CCNA).
  6. Phase 1 backlog: IPAM for address management; Ansible for VLAN/switch automation.
  7. Phase 2 backlog: Autonomous SRE Agent — planned architecture, requires observability baseline first.

Documentation Map

Section titled “Documentation Map”
1 Architecture Hardware specs, IP schemas, subnets, and physical cabling.
2 Hypervisor Proxmox installation, storage, and PCIe passthrough.
3 Networking Cisco VLANs, LACP, trunking, and Tailscale mesh.
4 Emulation EVE-NG deployment and Cisco IOU/QEMU images.
5 Compute Docker engine and compose stacks on Proxmox.
6 Observability Prometheus scrape targets and Grafana dashboards.
7 Troubleshooting Root cause analyses and resolutions.

Homelab Platforms

Section titled “Homelab Platforms”

Planned utility applications — blueprints only, implementation post-CCNA.

IPAM Planned — centralized IP and VLAN allocation tracking.

Flagship Project (Planned)

Section titled “Flagship Project (Planned)”

The Autonomous SRE Agent is a planned hybrid SRE assistant — local observability, cloud LLM reasoning, and DLP-protected remediation. Architecture blueprint documented on the homepage; implementation follows observability rollout.
