# IP Addressing Scheme ## Subnets | Subnet | CIDR | Purpose | Routed? | |---|---|---|---| | LAN | `192.168.2.0/24` | General LAN — clients and infrastructure | Yes (gateway .254) | | Storage | `192.168.4.0/29` | HA file server DRBD replication | No — internal `vmbr1` only, no uplink | The storage subnet never leaves pve1. `vmbr1` is a Proxmox Linux bridge with no physical port attached; traffic between the two HA file server VMs stays in-kernel. The host octet is consistent across subnets for any host that has multiple interfaces — e.g. ha-node1 is always `.228` (LAN: `192.168.2.228`, storage: `192.168.4.228`). --- ## LAN — 192.168.2.0/24 ### Address map | Range | Purpose | |---|---| | .1–.9 | Reserved, never assign | | .10–.59 | Client DHCP pool (router-assigned) | | .60–.219 | Unallocated buffer | | .220–.229 | Virtual nodes (VMs / LXC containers) | | .230–.239 | Expansion buffer (reserved, unallocated) | | .240–.249 | Physical nodes (bare-metal hosts) | | .250–.253 | Network services | | .254 | Router / gateway | ### Network services (.250–.253) | IP | Hostname | Role | |---|---|---| | `192.168.2.254` | router | Gateway (TP-Link) | | `192.168.2.253` | domain-controller | FreeIPA — authoritative DNS for `sweet.home`, Kerberos, LDAP | | `192.168.2.250`–`.252` | — | Reserved for future network services | ### Physical nodes (.240–.249) | IP | Hostname | Role | |---|---|---| | `192.168.2.245` | pve1 | Proxmox VE hypervisor | | `192.168.2.244` | pbs | Proxmox Backup Server | | `192.168.2.243` | nixos | Bare-metal workstation (`baremetal-gui`) | | `192.168.2.246`–`.249` | — | Reserved — second Proxmox node and associated services | | `192.168.2.240`–`.242` | — | Reserved | pve1 sits mid-range deliberately so a second Proxmox node can slot in on either side. ### Virtual nodes (.220–.229) All VMs and LXC containers run on pve1. | IP | Hostname | Role | Status | |---|---|---|---| | `192.168.2.229` | ha-vip | HA file server iSCSI floating VIP (Pacemaker) | Future | | `192.168.2.228` | ha-node1 | HA file server node 1 (DRBD + XFS + iSCSI) | Future | | `192.168.2.227` | ha-node2 | HA file server node 2 (DRBD + XFS + iSCSI) | Future | | `192.168.2.226` | server | Current NFS/ZFS file server — retires when HA is live | Retiring | | `192.168.2.225` | docker | Docker / Traefik stack | Active | | `192.168.2.224` | nix-cache | Nix binary cache + remote builder | Active | | `192.168.2.223` | pxe-boot | PXE / TFTP / HTTP netboot server | Active | | `192.168.2.222` | tailscale-router | Tailscale exit node / router | Active | | `192.168.2.221` | tor-relay | Tor relay | Active | | `192.168.2.220` | pdm | Proxmox Deploy Manager | Active | ### Client DHCP pool (.10–.59) Assigned by the router. DNS option points to `192.168.2.253` (domain-controller). Devices in this range: phones, laptops, IoT, Canon printer, any non-infrastructure host. No static reservations for infrastructure hosts — all infra uses static IP configuration on the guest itself (not DHCP reservations), so IPs survive VM recreation regardless of MAC address churn. --- ## Storage network — 192.168.4.0/29 Internal to pve1 only. Proxmox bridge `vmbr1`, no physical NIC attached. | IP | Hostname | Interface role | |---|---|---| | `192.168.4.228` | ha-node1 | DRBD replication NIC | | `192.168.4.227` | ha-node2 | DRBD replication NIC | | — | no gateway | Isolated — not routed to LAN or internet | --- ## Migration reference Current → target IP for every host being renumbered. | Host | Current IP | New IP | Config location | |---|---|---|---| | router | `192.168.2.254` | `192.168.2.254` | unchanged | | domain-controller | `192.168.2.138` | `192.168.2.253` | `/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0` on guest | | pve1 | `192.168.2.250` | `192.168.2.245` | `/etc/network/interfaces` on Proxmox host | | pbs | `192.168.2.108` | `192.168.2.244` | static config on PBS host | | nixos workstation | `192.168.2.119` | `192.168.2.243` | `networking.interfaces` / NetworkManager on guest | | ha-node1 | — | `192.168.2.228` | future | | ha-node2 | — | `192.168.2.227` | future | | ha-vip | — | `192.168.2.229` | future (Pacemaker resource) | | server | `192.168.2.252` | `192.168.2.226` | static config on guest | | docker | `192.168.2.249` | `192.168.2.225` | static config on guest | | nix-cache | `192.168.2.120` | `192.168.2.224` | static config on guest | | pxe-boot | `192.168.2.247` | `192.168.2.223` | static config on guest; update `vars.pxeServerIp` in `variables.nix` ✓ | | tailscale-router | `192.168.2.121` | `192.168.2.222` | static config on guest | | tor-relay | `192.168.2.107` | `192.168.2.221` | static config on guest | | pdm | `192.168.2.248` | `192.168.2.220` | static config on guest | ### Cutover notes - **Do domain-controller first** — it becomes the DNS server; everything else depends on it having its new IP and FreeIPA DNS configured before Pi-hole is retired. - **pve1 last among physical hosts** — changing the Proxmox management IP drops the web UI briefly; all guests keep running. - **Update Pi-hole custom.list / FreeIPA DNS A records** to new IPs before flipping any host, so name resolution stays valid throughout the migration. - **variables.nix already updated** for `pxeServerIp` (.247→.223), `pbsIp` (.108→.244), and new `domainControllerIp` (.253). Rebuild affected hosts after renumbering. - **Router DHCP**: once domain-controller is at .253 and FreeIPA DNS is serving `sweet.home`, switch router DHCP on with pool .10–.59 and DNS option pointing to .253; retire Pi-hole CT. - **Pi-hole's iPXE dnsmasq config** (`99-ipxe-chainload.conf`) moves to the pxe-boot CT as a dnsmasq proxy-mode config before Pi-hole is decommissioned.
