I am attempting to setup a pair of Proxmox VE 8.1 servers. The networking plan had been to provide a single 100Gb connection that has several tagged VLANs for the VM Management and the various subnets used by the VMs. But I'm having trouble getting that to work.
If I have the default VLAN on the port (Juniper switch) set to the VM Management VLAN, I can get the VM Management network working, but none of the tagged VLANs. The following
But if I try to add any tagged VLAN vmbr0.xxxx interfaces things break:
And it similarly does not work if I add the VM Management network settings to the physical interface:
As an alternative, I tested having all the subnets be tagged VLANs (no default VLAN). This configuration is similar to what David McKone outlines in his https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljq6wlzn4qo tutorial. But this configuration also does not work for me:
I'm coming from a VMware background, so some of my expectations come from there. I'd ideally love to have unique, friendly names for each vmbr interface show up in Proxmox, but that doesn't seem possible.
Is there a recommended way to configure a single network connection with multiple tagged VLANs?
