there's a lot of stuff on this page that's deprecated and doesn't exist

I believe there's an entire subnet described 192.168. something thst'a not
used at all. Everything is under 100.64.64.0/22 is it not?
The new switch has two VLANs, emulating what we had before with two switches.
The private VLAN is supposed to be 192.168.x.x but is not currently in use.
When I set up the new router which yar dropped off I will activate the
private VLAN again.
what's a private lan, and what's it for? What's the topology of the building
divided into?
does that mean that if something plugs into an ethernet port, it's going to be
on a different subnet from the stuff connected to the wifi? Do we need to do
that?
My preference would be to keep things simple. If things are more complicated
then it creates a larger divide between the knows and the know-nots, and that
leads to concentration of understanding of the infrastructure. If there has to
be complexity of our system, for example two different subnets for different
purposes, I would request that it be documented on the wiki in plain language
so that it's not a mystery.
I have learned a bit of network stuff over the years but there's still so much
I don't understand, and I can only imagine how opaque it all is for people with
less knowledge than me.
