I'm considering replacing my VyOS setup with Software-Defined Networking (SDN), but I'm unsure if it's feasible.

My current VyOS configuration has two interfaces: eth0 for public traffic, connected to my server's eth0 interface with a public IP, and eth1 for the private network.

I've been experimenting with SDN and VLAN Zones, but the documentation doesn't provide clear guidance on the network architecture. I'm wondering if I need an external switch to set VLAN tags, or if the SDN solution can act as a switch and tag the networks I create with VLAN tags.

To summarize:
  • Can SDN replace my VyOS setup?
  • Does SDN require an external switch for VLAN tagging, or can it handle it internally?
 
Do you want a device between your VM and the public IP?

Can't you have the nic from the VM connected directly to the bridge where you have access to the public IP address?
 
yes, its an interenal configuration. dont need any external switch.
now many nodes do you have ?
