I have set up a PVE cluster with an EVPN SDN, which uses BGP to distribute routes to our physical network infrastructure. I need to add some static routes to the configuration so that traffic is directed to designated VMs. The static routes need to be distributed to the physical network. I'm wondering what the best way to accomplish this is.

Example:

I have a VM assigned to a evpn network with the IP address 10.1.2.3/27
I need a static route that directs 1.2.3.4/32 traffic to 10.1.2.3

Background: We are working on migrating vmware+nsx VMs into proxmox. The old configurations were set up so that all VMs have a primary internal IP address. Some VMs also have an external IP alias on the same network interface as the primary internal IP. We then use the static route to direct the traffic for the external IP to the internal IP address. When this was set up, there were reasons that we did not want to use NAT. We would prefer to migrate the VMs with minimal modifications.

Thanks,

Erik
