The STEMlab Network Mk2 is designed to facilitate a physical network separation between STEMlab and Cyber, enhancing our operational capabilities. This new structure addresses the limitations of VLANs in our previous setup, offering a more adaptable and less disruptive environment. This is particularly beneficial for the Cyber team, who can now engage in networking experiments without affecting other lab functions.
