Proxmox GURUS: How can I assign VLAN IP to OpenVZ? THERE IS NO DOCUMENTATION

[torontob]

Hi Everyone,

I have been banging my head against the wall for two days now and tried everything but I can't find proper documenation for assigning VLAN IP to my OpenVZ container (CentOS). I am using pfSense as router and it has VLAN ID 4000 set with network 10.10.10.0/24. Proxmox directly connects to pfSense and there is no switch.

I have vmbr0 on Proxmox and eth0 on OpenVZ.

What commands do I have to run on host node and what commands do I have to run on openvz to get one of the 10.10.10.0/24 IPs to my openvz?

Thanks,

It's in the GUI on 3.4 but is there some reason you spammed the shit out of the forums with this question?

Thanks but I am looking for 3.0. There is a page on it that doesn't make sense and is not complete. It seems to be possible to run commands and get VLAN working on OpenVZ and many people asked the question but there is no answer than upgrade to 3.4. Not everyone can upgrade. Please let me know if this is possible on 3.0 with command line as pointed here: http://wiki.openvz.org/VLAN

I tried these commands but it doesn't work so either the wiki should be updated or change to say a 3.4 upgrade is needed if that is a deal breaker:
host # vconfig add eth0 <vlan_id>
host # vzctl set <CTID> --netif_add eth0.<vlan_id> --save

The correct answer is to update to a modern version of Proxmox, where this is known to work.

Thanks.

Someone needs to update that page since it's wrong info then.

which page exactly?

http://wiki.openvz.org/VLAN

http://wiki.openvz.org/VLAN

this is a wiki page from the openvz team (not proxmox).

I don't see how Proxmox team is responsible for openvz documentation...

My bad. I had like 50 pages opened up and I was working on all to get this running.

There are old forum posts of getting vlans working in vz containers. Prior to it being added to the GUI, I had a custom interfaces file that presented a different vmbr# for each vlan. Then it was as simple as attaching the container to that vmbr.

It is recommended that you update for security fixes and system patches. Staying on an old version isn't secure or performant
