(N00B) Advise on how to split the network inside proxmox

[stilia.johny]

hi all, and sorry for the ( probably already answered ) noob question
I am new to Proxmox and virtualization

I just installed it on a small Desktop I have, It has one NIC

The desktop is connected to my home switch ( default Broadband provider switch )

What would be the best way to make some VLANs in Proxmox so I can segment the VMs?

Will I require pfSense ( seen some posts around it )
Can I do it just with Proxmox ?

In my noob opinion, NAT or VLAN within Proxmox would be sufficient ( I would like to have VLANs though )


Thank you in advance for taking the time to answer me!
Any noob-friendly help would be appreciated

PS:
It would be great If I would create Virtual Switches, very much like ESX can do

Hey,

when you create a new VM you can specify a VLAN tag in the network tab. For more information about VLANs and proxmox you might want to take a look at [1] or post your question here.

aw .. I see.

I suppose I have created already some Linux VLANs in Proxmox, then I would have to assign a tag on them and in the VM I would use the default interface and the VLAN

@Hannes Laimer thanks a lot, that seem to be working,
on a slightly different note, you'd you have any pointers on how to use NATing?
