Hello,

I have to buildings here where I live, and in my main house I have 2 HPE microserver gen 10 running perfect with Proxmox 6, and in my second house in my rack I got 2 HP Gen 8 DL360E servers.
atm. I got 1 gbit uplink between main house and second house and it's running in same network as main house, same vlan's and subnet.

in my main house my 2 x HPE micro servers run a opnsense firewall, both microservers got 2x 1gbit uplink to my main US-24 Ubiquiti switch.
network port 1 is set to vmbr0 and network port 2 is vmbr1, vmbr0 is LAN (with all vlans and untagged traffic is my opnsense default management network), my proxmox servers runs on vlan 50 tagged, vmbr1 is used for WAN network and connected opnsense

I have installed a dual port 10gbit sfp+ network card in both hp micro servers and would like to have transfer speed with up 10gbit between these 2 servers.
I have put a DAC cable between both microservers and can see I get 10gbit link.
I have a fiber cable running to my second house, so i'm planning on using second port in NIC to setup 10gbit to second house also.

Any idea's how I can do this and ensure I don't get a network loop?
I have looked very little into OVS, i think I would need to setup something like this:
https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Open_v...RSTP.29_-_1Gbps_uplink.2C_10Gbps_interconnect

This i my current config for one if my micro servers, and it's same setup for other microserver exept other ip.
Code:
# network interface settings; autogenerated
# Please do NOT modify this file directly, unless you know what
# you're doing.
#
# If you want to manage parts of the network configuration manually,
# please utilize the 'source' or 'source-directory' directives to do
# so.
# PVE will preserve these directives, but will NOT read its network
# configuration from sourced files, so do not attempt to move any of
# the PVE managed interfaces into external files!
