Proxmox 3.4, OVS and Open VZ - 2 nics, 2 subnets

[Dolomike]

Hello,

I tried a while ago to get this working with Proxmox 3.3 but could never get things working right. I've just installed 3.4 and was hoping someone had a good example of using OVS and OpenVZ with two nics.

I have two nics, each with their own subnet and gateway, would like to be able to connect to the GUI/SSH on the host, and don't want the two subnets to have access to each other as this will be handled by the upstream firewall.

Would it be best to have an additional NIC for the GUI/SSH? How do I properly setup OVS for this type of configuration? Any help would be appreciated as I'd like to migrate to Proxmox soon.

Thanks,
Mike

Note: Since the bug when using it in containers is solved in the meantime the mentioned work around is not necessary any more.

To separate different kinds of traffic is always a good idea. What to do in particular depends on your specific needs.

Maybe the example can give you some ideas.

Kind regards
