Hello,
I know this topic is already discussed thousens times here in the forum, but it seems that my issue is somehow different..
The moment I activate a firewall interface for any of my guests I start receiving so called "alarms" like this one:

Bash:

What I'm trying to say it is not related to physical interface but the virtual ones - fwln(VMID)i/o - which means in and out interface for that particular VM/CT.
So I don't suppose network misconfiguration or something like that.. but maybe I'm wrong.
Any help is appreciated.
 
can you post your network config?
 
Sure, nothing special from my point of view.
Here it is:

netconf_node_1.JPG

A brief explanation: I have 3 physical interfaces, eth0 is set as trunk port which allow all VLAN's except vlan 35 which is set as native (because I have shared this between the OS and management), eth1 and eth0 allow all VLANs and are part of LAGG, which is configured to talk over LACP.

Here is the configuration from switch perspective:

netconf_switch_eth1_and_eth2.JPG
netconf_unifi_port_profiles.JPG

If additional information is needed, just ping me back.
Thanks in advance.
 
sorry, it seems i missed your answer...

how does the network config look like inside the vms? (the ones popping up in the log?)
do the vms have multiple network interfaces ?
 
No, one 1 interface in place.

In my humble opinion, the issue is somewhere in these special devices which the firewall creates, "i" as input interface and "o" as output.
If I disable the firewall for a particular VM, no errors in the log.

Also this errors are shown in the host OS, not inside the VM's or containers.

As mentioned above I use OpenVSwitch, here you could see some additional info:

I have 3 network cards, they are all set as trunk. I use eth0 for management proposes, and eth1 and eth2 to do LACP link with another bridge and assign this to the VM's
