Hi!
I'm fairly new to SR-IOV this and hope I'm using the right terminology and abbreviations.
I'm trying to figure this out.
I've got a VM which I've assigned it a VF from the main 10GBe network card.
This works fine, it does it's thing, no issues.
I wanted to use the same PF(The top "root" NIC on the list) in a bridge for management (vmbr0).
This also works fine.
But as soon as I assign the bridge to a VM virtual NIC, the VM doesn't get network.
I have to create a new bridge for a different NIC to get it to then get network through the other vmbr1.
It's exactly like this, nothing special for topology. Basically just playing around and can't seem to figure out why this wouldn't work.
Now I'm guessing that the First VM with the VF shouldn't really have anything to do with this, as it's not even a part of the vmbr0, as far as the system is concerned it's it's own NIC.
The only other thing I'm thinking now is that there's some type of security on the management bridge to prevent VMs to access the network in case of a breach?
I'm really new to Proxmox and it's been years since I've done anything like this, so I apologize if it's something everyone should know.
Here's the interfaces file:
EDIT: I've just noticed I've posted the now current config. Basically the only difference before, with the issues, was that enp87s0 was in vmbr0 and vmbr2 didn't exist.
