Hello, I have the following network setup and I'm struggling to get the network configuration working with SDN.

The nodes have a bond0 interface (lacp), with the management network running untagged on this interface. Additionally, several other VLAN subnets are tagged on it.

Currently, I have created a vmbr0 bridge, and the node's IP address is assigned to it. I've also created an external zone with vmbr0 as the interface, and then created vnets with VLAN tags within that zone.

Now there are two problems:
  • Either the VMs in the vnets are reachable if I set vmbr0 to be VLAN aware, or the node is reachable via the IP address on vmbr0. I can't have both working simultaneously.
  • How can I utilize the VLAN that is untagged on the port within the VMs?"

 
Can you please post your full network configuration?

Code:
cat /etc/network/interfaces
cat /etc/network/interfaces.d/sdn

ip a
 
sorry, I already changed the config and splittet the bonding interface - one for the ip adress of the note and the other for sdn.

would it help to post this config or shall I reconfigure to the not working version and post that?
 
Does it work as intended now? Then sharing your working configuration could help other users who run into the same problem.

Otherwise, please share the broken state so I can take a look and help you set up the network!
 
Of course I will! ;-)

At the moment I just seperated the network interfaces, I'll recreate the bond tomorrow.

On which interface shall I create the nodes IP address - bond, vmbr or is there a possibility to add it to a zone directly?
