Hi; I'm a newbie and am looking for some guidance
I have OPNSense virtualized on Proxmox. Furthermore, I have 3 physical NICs on my PC; and have created 1:1 bridges for each NIC. 1 for Wan and 1 for Lan (all good here).
I have created 4 VLANs (10, 20, 30, 40) on OPNSense, and using this last nic / bridge (which is "not" marked vlan aware in Proxmox), connected / trunked it to a Mikrotik Hex (5 ports). I'm using the 4 available ports for VLAN 10, 20, 30, 40 to separate physical devices. This replicates a more traditional network (in my opinion) of router on a stick.
Now this is what I want to do;
I wish to create a few CTs/VMs in Proxmox, and assign these into VLANs 60, 70, 80. No physical devices involved here, just CTs/VMs. How do I go about doing this?
1. Should I make the 3rd NIC VLAN aware and that's it? would I also need to have the Mikrotik recognize these new VLANs IDs on the main trunked port.
2. Should I create a new VLAN aware bridge in Proxmox, without assigning it to any NIC. That way I don't have to touch the Mikrotik, and just create the Vlans in OPNSense.
Once again I'm a newbie; so apologize if this question has been asked before, or I'm using incorrect terminology. Would really appreciate some help or guidance.
