I have a two nodex proxmox cluster, one nic each.
I would like to create a management network for the two nodes on 10.1.1.x and I need to have a VM with address 192.168.1.x
On nodes I can't assign an IP (10.1.1.x) to the phisical network card and then create a LAN bridge with IP 192.168.1.x,
but also I'm not able to create a virtual LAN either.
Can you help me?
 
With just a single NIC you will have to buy another NIC or work with tagged VLANs, which requires buying a managed switch with tagged VLAN support in case you don'T already own one.
 
Thank you for the answer, in linux i can assign two addresses to the same nic. Why not using Proxmox?
 
You can assign two IPs to a single interface. But whats the point of a management interface without any physical o at least virtual isolation between subnets?
Corosync won't benefit without a dedicated always-idling physical NIC and it also doesn't really help with security.
 
If you cannot create VLAN, then 'secondly IP' can be help here, like this:
