[SOLVED] 2 hosts with Proxmox 5.1 OVS Switch VLAN

[Turbohosting]

Dear All,

I am trying to achive a network with two hosts installed with Proxmox 5.1 and they are in cluster.

The connection between them is direct cable and will be the same later. The connection from Host OS using the vlan ports is working

Participants:
Host A vmbr1 - pve-manager/5.1-36/131401db (running kernel: 4.13.4-1-pve)
Host B vmbr1 - pve-manager/5.1-36/131401db (running kernel: 4.13.4-1-pve)
VM 1
VM 2

In the example I am going to use one VLAN, but I would need to use many more.

Host A and Host B has vlan14 interface and they ping each other
VM 1 and VM 2 has interface with taged with 14.
Each VMs can ping the phyiscal hosts vlan14 adress but cannot ping each other.

I might be missing a kernel config or sth.

Problem solved. Appearantly VM 1 and VM 2 had firewall blocking the ping (pfsense). For now it seems it is working, but slow.

So besides the config you presented, is there anything that need to be done elsewhere ? Like on the switch ?

 

[fxandrei]

So i think ill answer this, but i think the ports used in the switch need to be configured as trunk ports (in the switch).
This depends on the switch but i think that every vlan number used needs to be defined as well.

Anyway, i will try this.
