Hi, I am new to this PROXMOX topic and I want to know if it is possible to make a Spine - Leaf network architecture.
Question about Proxmox VE

Sorry, but I have to catch this straight away
Proxmox is only capitalized at the beginning, it is just the company and not a product. You are probably referring to Proxmox VE.
See: https://proxmox.com/en/about/media-kit
Do you know what Proxmox VE is about? If so, please explain your plan in more detail. I find it difficult to adapt this to Proxmox VE.
pve acts as an end node in your network infrastructure. It doesn't care whether your network is traditional, spine/leaf, dual or triple tier, etc.
Realmente nunca he manejado proxmox VE, pero lo que quiero hacer es una arquitectura de red Spine y Leaf con switches para poder levantar VxLAN.Lo siento, pero tengo que captar esto de inmediato
Proxmox solo se capitaliza al principio, es solo la empresa y no un producto. Probablemente te estés refiriendo a Proxmox VE.

¿Sabes de qué se trata Proxmox VE? Si es así, explique su plan con más detalle. Me resulta difícil adaptar esto a Proxmox VE.
¿No puedo simular switches en Proxmox VE para configurar VxLAN en una arquitectura de red Spine y leaf? Lo que tengo que hacer es hacer una red como en GNS3 y formar una arquitectura de este tipo.
Really, is it possible?
In that document that you attach to the message, there is information about what I have to do or how I can raise that spine and leaf architecture, I do not know if I can install switches as in GNS3 or I have to do something else.
the are two virtual switching environments supported by proxmox- linux bridges (kernel mode) and openvswitch (usermode.) openvswitch has some overlap with GNS3, but if you're asking whether GNS3 can be installed atop proxmox as a VM- yes you can. see https://www.techbeatly.com/gns3-vm-how-to-enable-kvm-support/ for more information.
I understand what you are telling me, but as you know a lot about this Proxmox topic, which one would you recommend me so that I can simulate a Spine and Leaf architecture?
I do not know if you understand what I want to do, is to raise a vxlan tested in a spine and leaf architecture and I need to be in proxmox, I do not know if I can install GNS3 in proxmox, I was just like comparing the environment of GNS3 with Proxmox, because in GNS3 you install a switch and add it, you can see how the network is graphed or how it is physically and I do not know if that can be done in proxmox.
It all depends to what purpose. proxmox is a virtualization operating environment and does not have tools for simulation as you describe; you can create networks using vxlans, sure- but it wont give you graphs or visualizations since that is not within its scope. sounds to me like you want GNS3.
Ok, so if I can create a Spine and Leaf network in proxmox then within that architecture I can apply VxLAN.
