Is it possible to connect the non-proxmox server to SDN

[Mavis]

Good day.

I'm using the Proxmox SDN feature to create a local network, which looks pretty well. However, I wish to connect the server on plain Debian 11 to the proxmox SDN, please clarify is it possible to do this? I use VXLAn for SDN.

The main reason why I should do it is to create some outside cluster server that will be some kind of proxy, it will have nginx proxy on board and will forward traffic to the local network websites or services.

So I will be thankful for any information regarding this topic.

Regards,
Mavis.

Yes, sure. Best way is to install ifupdown2 on debian11 and copy similar config than /etc/network/interfaces.d/sdn. (Create a vxlan interface with a bridge and set an IP adress on the bridge )

Thank you, this is working. But what about security? Is anybody can connect to my network using this or it is limitation with IP address in the config file?

Well currently they are no security layer at vxlan level, so you should filter vxlan port/ip with proxmox firewall for example.
