Trying to wrap my head around what can be accomplished with VRF on L3 switches (i.e. Cisco VRF on C9300), and PVE.
I'm in the process of setting up a new test lab, and historically we've just used VLANs or physically separate networks, but this time, due to NIC and switch count limitations, I am wanting to investigate utilising VRF so we can have multiple isolated (and overlapping) networks reside within a pair of servers and a single switch.
On the switch front, completely up to date with how to setup a VRF there. Being relatively new to PVE, from ESXi world, I am having trouble determining if this is possible, and what the correct PVE verbiage is to search up further information.
I believe I need to utilise Zones (Specifically EVPN?) and an EVPN controller?
In my ideal scenario:
- 2 x servers running PVE both with 2 x 10Gb SFP+
- 1 x C9300 with VRF support, multitude of 10Gb ports
Ideally, across those two servers, I would have the following potential networks, fully isolated from each other, but able to route between the two servers:
- System A: 10.54.0.0/18
- System B: 10.0.0.0/8
- System C: 10.54.0.0/24
- etc, as needs require
