Hello,
On my server, I have a total of six physical network interfaces, with two being 10 Gigabit and the remaining four being 1 Gigabit. Currently, I'm using one of the 1 Gigabit ports exclusively for management access to the Proxmox GUI, while I'd like to utilize one of the 10 Gigabit link as a trunk port for other users on my network to access VMs on the Proxmox server. However, I've encountered an issue where disconnecting the 1 Gigabit management port also disrupts the functionality of the 10 Gigabit link.
Is this behavior normal? Does Proxmox treat all physical network cards as part of the same virtual switch, with the network card containing the gateway configured as the primary access point?
Ideally, I should be able to unplug the management port and still have access to my vm's via the 10gig. Any assistance in this setup would be much appreciated.
Here is my current config file:
