Hello,
I am trying to set up a bond for our Proxmox Hypervisor. I am using a brodacom Network card with 2 10gbe sfp+ ports and 2 regular rj45 ports. I would like to have a failover config with the sfp+ connection as primary and the rj45 as secondary. The secondary should only act as a backup in a worst case that the sfp+ would fail or gets unplugged.
Her is my config
eno1 is the 10gbit port and eno4 is the 1gbit port. All VMs are connected to the vmbr0 bridge which is currently connected to port eno3 (1gbit) which works fine. As you can see I have a second bridge vmbr1 connected to the bond currently which also works fine (I can access the Proxmox Web panel on 10.0.0.11 but cannot communicate to the internet because you can only have one gateway.). So far so good. However when I try to change the bridge port of the vmbr0 bridge to bond0 instead of eno3 I can't even get to my default gateway. On the Switch side (mikrotik crs354) I have configured the bond of the two ports and setup the active-backup type for bonding.
see config here
Here the config which should work but doesn't (only port for vmbr0 bridge is changed from eno3 to bond0). Interestingly not even eno3 via the second vmbr1 bridge works anymore when I try to access it on 10.0.0.11
The strange thing is when I try to reproduce this problem on the another server (same model and network card Dell r730) It works directly without issues. Could it be that it is an issue that the vmbr0 bridge already has vms attached to it? because that is the only difference that is between the two servers. what I also noticed on the switch is that the state of the bond never get the flag "slave" only the flag "running" (on the environment where it works, both of these flag exist)
Any input is appreciated.
Thanks
