HI,Hey,
I'm getting a lot of multicast requests from proxmox,
I'm currently running 15 nodes from which 13 are online ( 2 at other location with no network )

is there any way I can lower these requests?
but so many ?HI,
these packets are coming from corosync and are essential for it to work as intended!
This is nothing unusual, especially if you have many nodes. Do you experience any issues?but so many ?
its flooding quite alot.
getting 20 ish packets a second
WIth the nodes/proxmox itself not,This is nothing unusual, especially if you have many nodes. Do you experience any issues?
No worries!WIth the nodes/proxmox itself not,
but my whole network gets alot of packets.
also thanks for taking your time replying to me.
no i have not done this yet.No worries!
Did you follow our recommendation and set-up the corosync ring on ins own dedicated network? See the corresponding section in the documentation for further details https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/pve-admin-guide.html#_cluster_network
No, it should be on a physically separate network as corosync requires low latency to work. Delaying the syncs is not what you want.no i have not done this yet.
should it be just its own subnet or ?
is there a way to "delay" the syncs ?
struggle of life my man.... hahNo, it should be on a physically separate network as corosync requires low latency to work. Delaying the syncs is not what you want.
You could configure it to use unicast via transport "udpu". Please have a look at the totem section in https://linux.die.net/man/5/corosync.confstruggle of life my man.... hah
is there any way to make it "peer to peer" instead of multicast ?
will setup vlans tomorrow.>>but my whole network gets alot of packets.
enable igmp snooping and igmp querier on your physical switch to filter multicast.
Another way is to use a dedicated vlan for proxmox corosync
