Accessing proxmox from different vlan/subnet

Hello all
Running omada business network at home with 4 different vlans.
One of the vlans is dedicated to IOT where I added proxmox server which will be running multiple vm's.
I'm trying to access proxmox from home vlan but I am unable to do so, I double checked rules for switch and access points and they should provide access to proxmox.
Routing is in place (all though not needed) but still no connection.

My question is does proxmox network setup needs to be adjusted in order to allow communication from different vlans or subnets ?
Please advise

Hello,
for useful answering sharing the network configuration of the PVE node is required, like output of cat /etc/network/interfaces or a screenshot of <node>/System/Network in web gui.
 
As I dont see any vlan configuration, the entire vlan assignement is done on the connected switch (TP-Link Omada?)?
If there are different vlans used for IoT and home you will need to configure inter-vlan routing on the switch. And of course you have to use different ip subnets in the different vlans for this to work.
 
Screenshots shows default network setup, this is out of the box. I did not change or add anything on proxmox.
Switch port where proxmox box is connected to is assigned IOT vlan profile as planned.

Before I spend time troubleshoting network I just want to confirm that i do not need to change anything on proxmox network to
be able to use it a cross vlan/subnet?
 
Proxmox VE doesn't require any special settings for network communication. It is after all a Debian running there.
It will send it's traffic to the configured gateway if required and the gateway needs to do the right stuff from there.

Thank you for confirming this, I think I need to spend some time with omada controller and adjust or add new rules to be able to reach new box.
