Hi all,
I recently purchased a couple of servers from Hetzner to test and get acquainted with Proxmox.
For this question I'll focus on the connection between two servers only.
The servers are all identical so let's say they all have one Xeon Processor, 2 drives, and one network card.
The connectivity for the VM's will be provided through a pfSense vm acting as router/gateway, and I'm aiming to connect the servers via Hetzner's vSwitch.
/etc/network/interfaces
Both servers have a similar network config.
On server A the pfSense router is connected to (same on Server B):
vmbr0 for WAN
vmbr1 for LAN local
vmbr2 for the network that goes through the vSwitch with DHCP on.
Server A: VM's on LAN have connectivity all normal.
Server B: pfsense router connected to vmbr2 gets an address from pfsense on server A
On server A I have the vmbr2 bridge on proxmox to acquire a DHCP lease, as I was thinking it should get an IP from the DHCP server, and then I'd be able to select this network from Proxmox (for example private network for the cluster).
If I do `ip ad` I do have an IP assigned to the vmbr2 interface. DHCP appears to be working.
ISSUE:
- IP doesn't show on the Proxmox GUI.
- Can't select vmbr2 for "Cluster" for example.
Is this expected behaviour or am I missing something? Thanks
