Hi,

I have a physical interface (bond) which should be used for PVE management (VLAN 20) and VM traffic. (all other VLANs) What's the proper way to set this up? I understand I need a bridge for VM traffic, at least.

Is the following enough? Should PVE have a bridge interface, too/instead? Should I exclude VLAN 20 from the VM bridge?
  • bond0
    • bond0.20 - PVE management
    • vmbr0 - VM traffic, VLAN IDs 2-4094
 
VLAN on the bridge, eh? I suppose that makes sense, but I don't think I need the 20 bridge? I won't have any VMs on that VLAN.
