    Host cannot ping Guest when in same VLAN (but only *one* VLAN) via ovs

    Problem Statement PVE Host cannot ping or communicate to VM on same host, only when that VM is in a specific vlan (that is shared with the host).

    NAT + IPv6 for containers on OVH Host with 1 Public IPv4 + IPv6/64

    Hi, I have a Proxmox host running a dedicated server from OVH. They provide both a single public IPv4 address, and a IPv6/64 block. I'd like to route all the IPv4 traffic from containers on my host through NAT, but set a proper public IPv6 for direct access. I've succeeded in getting the IPv4...

    Network issues on ovs switch

    I have a Kubernetes VM and an unrelated VM on the same host in a cluster using an ovs-bridge. I'm able to ping between the two VMs but when I try to ping from a kubernetes container it fails.

    IPv6 only works after pinging the default gateway

    Hello community, we observe a strange problem here (Cluster on PVE 7.2-3 with open vSwitch): The ICMPv6 NS (Neighbor Solicitation) packet does not seem to arrive inside the VM (it is a Cisco C9800-CL Wireless Controller) when the vNIC has "firewall=1" set. As soon as we remove the "firewall=1"...

    Upgraded from 6 to 7, now networking on VLANs doesn't work, openvswitch or linux

    As stated in the title, I upgraded last night. I made no changes to my network interfaces file, and now my network is inaccessible. The only way I can get networking to work between my LAN network (and none of my others) is reverting to the original network config provided when I installed PVE5...

    PVE 6 to 7 Update OpenVSwitch

    Hello, I just updated PVE from 6 to 7 with an OpenVSwitch configuration. With ifupdown it seems like my /etc/network/interfaces will be ignored. Installing ifupdown2 solved the problem - though you have to setup a temporary internet connection to download the package. It's odd that ifupdown2...
