Configure vlan using Proxmox API

[tibby]

Hello! I've been searching for an information how could I possibly configure VLAN using Proxmox API. I know how to check the network config using an API, but is it possible to add a VLAN using API?

Normally I would edit /etc/network/interfaces, but I need to do it in Python's code. Thanks.

Hi,

Do you like to configure VLAN for the host or for the Guests?

 

[tibby]

Both. Also, I would like to configure it like I do in /etc/network/interfaces. So basically, I would like to do the same thing like in /etc/network/interfaces but programatically using an API in Python.

We have no API VLAN configuration call for the host network.

I see. So how about the configuration for guest?

You can use the set command but you have to set all nic property again.

The workflow would
GET /api2/json/nodes/{node}/qemu/{vmid}/config to fetch the current vnic config
PUT /api2/json/nodes/{node}/qemu/{vmid}/config to update the new vnic config with vlan tag.

Ok but you gave me the VLAN configuration for the VM. However, I would like to create only a VLAN (I know how to set VLAN for VM).

What do you mean exactly?
