Hello,
I'm not so new to Proxmox, but I am new to Cluster

How I build and add, a cluster of two nodes, when I have two network interfaces in each node, the first being configured with the WAN connection directly (Internet) and the second configured with a local connection.
I only have 2 physical network interfaces on each node and one is the one that connects to the internet
How do I do the process to get the cluster to communicate 100% through the local connection?
I can do it from GUI or from console only


The other question is, the first node is currently in production and the second node just installed
Node1 PVE V. 6.0-7
Node2 PVE V. 6.1-7

Will I be able to create the cluster and join the empty node2 (to the cluster) without updating first?

I also want to activate the store replication to a couple of VMs, and that it also works over the local network

I am in a datacenter (OVH USA) and I could never know what are those network interfaces, enp2s0f0 and enp2s0f1. (supposedly I only have 2 NICs)


Thank you. Have a good day / night
