Create an Internal only network

[jwhitt]

Im new to proxmox, and im in the process of building a 4 node cluster each node has 3 nics
0 - LAN and management
1 - External Passthrough to my external IP's
2 - Storage (Storage Network)

I'd like to be able to create internal network's for groups of vm's to be able to communicate accross the cluster. Is this possiable?

My though was to create sub intefaces on each machine say eth0.1 on all 4 nodes and then a bridged interface on each proxmox host? Am i going down the right path?

Thanks,

Jason

Hi,
yes you can use vlan-tagging if your switch can 802.1q. But then you can't use the default vlan on this interface (all networks over this nic must be tagged).
You can also use very fast internal bridges (with dummy-device), but only per node - no connection to other nodes/networks.
