SDN VLAN aware vs VXLAN

[vesuvienne]

what's the purpose of VLAN aware under:
- Zones = create VLAN
- Vnets = VLAN aware ? (can i remove the Tag ?)


VXLAN doc proxmox:
Create a VXLAN zone named myvxlanzone and add all IPs from the nodes to the peer address list. Use the default MTU of 1450 or configure accordingly.

ID: myvxlanzone
Peers Address List: 192.168.0.1,192.168.0.2,192.168.0.3

what's the difference between adding:
-VXLAN peers address
or
- VLAN add vmbr0 under bridge

vlan-aware allow you to create an extra vlan tag (at vm nic level), on top of the vxlan tunnel.

(vlan over vxlan)

(you don't really need it until you have a very specific setup)

thx ! yeah a did regular SDN VLAN it work perfectly

Question:
* Is SDN VLAN the same as created a Linux VLAN on your node?

* Do you know why a nameserver is needed for VLAN?

yes. (the sdn vlan is defined at datacenter, then deploy/generated on each node locally.

* Do you know why a nameserver is needed for VLAN?

it's not mandatory, you can keep it empty. (It's for ipam, to auto register your hostname/ip in your dns server.
