OVSTunnel in proxmox GUI

[verboEse]

Hi.

We are using Proxmox VE 4.4 on Debian. I found it's not possible to use VXLAN OVSTunnel with the proxmox GUI. It even seems to block further use of the networking GUI tools when configuring such a tunnel via command line and by editing /etc/networking/interfaces.
Will there be changes in 4.4 to enable Tunnel settings, or will 5.0 be able to do that?

Can you give an example how /etc/networking/interfaces looks like after editing?

Hi.

Of course I can. Here is the part that is interesting for the tunnel definition

allow-vmbr1 eth1
iface eth1 inet manual
        ovs_type OVSPort
        ovs_bridge vmbr1
#external hardware interface

auto vmbr1
iface vmbr1 inet manual
        ovs_type OVSBridge
        ovs_ports eth1 tep1
#external network

allow-vmbr1 tep1
iface tep1 inet static
        address  111.222.33.44
        netmask  255.255.255.0
        gateway  111.222.33.1
        ovs_type OVSIntPort
        ovs_bridge vmbr1
#external network

########################################

auto vmbr2
iface vmbr2 inet manual
        ovs_type OVSBridge
        ovs_ports vx1 dhcptap0
#internal network

allow-vmbr2 vx2
iface vx1 inet manual
        ovs_type OVSTunnel
        ovs_bridge vmbr2
        ovs_options trunks=11,22,33
        ovs_tunnel_type vxlan
        ovs_tunnel_options options:remote_ip=111.222.33.43 options:key=flow options:dst_port=4789
#internal network tunnel

On second node it looks similar, only IP addresses differ.

You can write your setings in
/etc/network/interfaces.d/ovs

and add this line at the end of /etc/network/interfaces

source /etc/network/interfaces.d/ovs

The current version has SDN functionality in which you can configure vxlan connectivity. But still no support for OVSTunnel ports in webui...
