We are thinking of buying a high-density server with four nodes.
I would like to create a ceph cluster without having a switch.
The idea is to connect all the nodes to each other.
In the specific case with 25Gbits connections.
However, with a test system I can't get the system to work.
The problem is that I can't set the ports to be reached by the other nodes with a single IP.
According to my knowledge it should have been enough to set the Interface in Linux Bridge mode, but it does not work.
The only way I was able to make them communicate is with the Lunux Bound in broadcast setting, but I would like to avoid unnecessarily overloading the bandwidth by reducing it to a third.
Any suggestions?
