Hi! Brand new to Proxmox, here. I'm bringing a small business into the 21st century with a robust network and a multi-purpose server. It was recommended to me to use Proxmox as my server OS and then use various VMs and containers for the various functionality I need - TrueNAS as my file server, an Nginx web server for internal crud apps, as well as tools such as an (TP-Link) Omada controller, Network monitoring/SIEM tool, etc.
Can I set the IP address for a VM so that it's on a different subnet/VLAN than the host (Proxmox server)?
Also, how do I configure containers in a VM within Proxmox to show up on the LAN as ordinary nodes? To further clarify, my Proxmox server has an IP address of 10.2.2.2. (That second 2 indicates that it's on VLAN 2 - the main business VLAN). I'll want the TrueNAS VM to have a similar IP. Something like 10.1.2.3 so that all the other business machines (on the same segment/VLAN) can access the shared files/folders. But I'll have an (TP-Link) Omada Cloud Controller that I'll want on my management VLAN (10.1.10.x). How can I assign the container an IP of 10.1.10.6 so that it's visible to all the other devices on the 10.1.10.x Management VLAN (10)? In Docker I'd use MacVlan networking; what's the equivalent in Proxmox?
If I chose to, could I run that container in my TrueNAS VM (even though it's on VLAN 2)? Or do I need to put it in a separate VM that has a 10.1.10.x address?
