Management Network On A Trunk Port, Cisco UCS Server

[msantangelosdoc]

Hello all,

We are trying out ProxMox on an old Cisco HX 240C M5SX server. We are using a UCS VIC 1457 for networking on it. The switchport it is connected to is set to trunk:

interface TenGigabitEthernet1/0/12
  description *** Old HX to ProxMox Host 1 ***
  switchport trunk allowed vlan 200,201
  switchport mode trunk

201 is the vlan we would like to use as management. 200 is just a data vlan.

The Port-0 interface in the CIMC shows as UP and the vNic MAC is seen on the switch (MAC ending 1738). This vNic is set to Trunk with no default vlan, and is set to use the only up uplink as it's source. According to "ip a" on the proxmox server, this is interface eno5. The /etc/network/interaces configuration is as follows:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

iface eno5 inet manual

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
    bridge-ports eno5
    bridge-stp off
    bridge-fd 0
    bridge-vlan-aware yes
    bridge-vids 200-201
    
auto vmbr0.201
iface vmbr0.201 inet static
    address 10.200.1.126/24
    gateway 10.200.1.151
    
iface eno6 inet manual

iface eno1 inet manual

iface eno2 inet manual

source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*

I cannot seem to ping the server, it's not available at it's IP, and from the host I am unable to ping the gateway. Is there anything you can suggest?

Disregard. ... The vlans were swapped. 200 is the management, 201 is data.

This meant changing

auto vmbr0.201
iface vmbr0.201 inet static
    address 10.200.1.126/24
    gateway 10.200.1.151

to

auto vmbr0.200
iface vmbr0.200 inet static
    address 10.200.1.126/24
    gateway 10.200.1.151

All good here.
