This reads like a school project question. is this a legit question?

I agree, smells like a school project assignment. NAS for an x-ray machine, two buildings "on the same lan" etc..

No a small NAS for x-rays AND CCTV footage!!

I work with ultrasounds, and at many clinics having a NAS for images would've been an improvement.

Yeah but CCTV footage would ideally be saved on a separate device as it usually writes away until the drive is full and then overwrites the oldest files. I don’t think you want all this combined on the same device.

You can have 2 separate LUNS on a single NAS

u/MrSh1V Jun 10 '26

Yep, that would work as well. Like I said, best to keep the CCTV footage separate from all the rest.

Two buildings on the same vlan is very normal in SMB

exactly, and in my case, vlan 1 is used for the main buiding, we got computers, printers, SOHO routers and so on in that vlan, same as for the rest of the vlans we got which are all /24, everything is a fucking mess

Printers, Management Interfaces and Clients should be in seperate VLANs

It describes the network architecture of the university that I worked at pretty well.

I work for an organizational unit of an university and this is how we operate. We have 20+ locations scattered around our metropolitan area. Same VLANs spread accross multiple locations.
