Secondary IP on vmbr (if advisable)

[pandafunk]

Hello forum,

I'd need to have a secondary IP on vmbr0 because I want to enable receiving remote logs on a proxmox node and I want to avoid change logserver IP on every sending machine.

I tried that and it's working fine:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
    address 10.8.10.23
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    gateway 10.8.10.1
    bridge_ports eth0.10
    bridge_stp off
    bridge_fd 0

auto vmbr0:0
iface vmbr0:0 inet static
    address 10.8.10.24
    netmask 255.255.255.0

but... that Unknown on type column make me think about if it's ok, considering it's a production machine that act as nfs shared storage only.

It's advisable to have two IPs on a proxmox node's bridge? It's supported and advisable?

Thanks in advance

it would be better to create a VM / container as the central log server with this IP, instead of running the central log server on the PVE host

it's generally not advised to add network services to the pve host, which should be used only for running the guest machines
