developer workstation Proxmox 6.1

[aureladmin]

I installed my laptop in "developer workstation" mode with the XFCE interface and everything else.

There is one thing that I cannot do for the moment, it is a "bond0 active-backup" with a wifi and ethernet card.

I am putting my current "interfaces" file to you.

# network interface settings; autogenerated
# Please do NOT modify this file directly, unless you know what
# you're doing.
#
# If you want to manage parts of the network configuration manually,
# please utilize the 'source' or 'source-directory' directives to do
# so.
# PVE will preserve these directives, but will NOT read its network
# configuration from sourced files, so do not attempt to move any of
# the PVE managed interfaces into external files!

The Wifi card wlo1 is managed by network manager without dhcp (in manual).

I have also attempt to use the "laptop mode" with this instruction : Debian Bonding

You have quite a lot bridges, each "disconnected" from any other network port/device and havinga single static address on them, why's that? Maybe you would have a more flexible setup if you add one bridge, install dnsmasq and setup a local DHCP server on that bridge interface? Here on my dev workstation i have such a disconnected bridge with following dnsmasq.conf for VM/CT tests which should not pollute our lab network:

interface=vmbr04
bind-interfaces
dhcp-range=10.10.0.10,10.10.0.254,1h
log-dhcp

Just a slightly off-topic tip.

I tried the modifications below but without success:

Shouldn't have the vmbr0 bond0 as slave-port, instead none? And also add the laptop's host IP on the bond?

The vmbr without bridge it's for test network architecture before deployment. All vmbr represent a vlan. there is pfsense VM for routing between vmbr.
dhcp is managed by vm (domain server, ...) so no need for dhcp on proxmox-ve

I have test vmbr without address but the vmbr do not up at boot (no connection). I have also test with "bridge vlan-awares" but with pfsense there are some error with the network card. there are juste one network card present in pfsense but in the config vm i have 9 vmbr1 with different tag vlan for each.

any suggestion for this ?
