Hi,
I'm moving my Proxmox (1.8) setup to a new data centre shortly, and in the process, am hoping to simplify the network setup. I'm planning to use two switches connected to two independent feeds to the rack for redundancy.
And I've received the following advice from a network engineer at the new data centre:
The trouble is, it looks like the Proxmox servers are indeed configured to bridge their network connections. The main IP address is assigned to vmbr0, which I believe is a standard feature. Here's the network config of one of them, from /etc/network/interfaces:
So the question is: is it possible to reconfigure this so that the two network connections aren't bridged, or will that cause things to break?
Thanks for any help.
I'm moving my Proxmox (1.8) setup to a new data centre shortly, and in the process, am hoping to simplify the network setup. I'm planning to use two switches connected to two independent feeds to the rack for redundancy.
And I've received the following advice from a network engineer at the new data centre:
We can provide VRRP, or we can provide two ports on separate switches both in the same vlan and you can link each switch to each of our switches.
As long as you have no layer 2 connectivity between the switches and the servers aren't configured to bridge the network connections it should work fine.
The trouble is, it looks like the Proxmox servers are indeed configured to bridge their network connections. The main IP address is assigned to vmbr0, which I believe is a standard feature. Here's the network config of one of them, from /etc/network/interfaces:
Code:
# network interface settings
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet manual
iface eth1 inet manual
iface eth2 inet manual
iface eth3 inet manual
auto bond0
iface bond0 inet manual
slaves eth0 eth1
bond_miimon 100
bond_mode active-backup
auto bond1
iface bond1 inet static
address 10.0.1.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
slaves eth2 eth3
bond_miimon 100
bond_mode active-backup
auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
address 192.168.1.69
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
network 192.168.1.0
bridge_ports bond0
bridge_stp off
bridge_fd 0
So the question is: is it possible to reconfigure this so that the two network connections aren't bridged, or will that cause things to break?
