Hello everyone,

I will first start by saying I'm very new to Proxmox, my question is this and sorry if I use the wrong terminology for things up front.

Is it possible to have a pve node on a bridge of lets say vrmb 3 with an subnet of 10.172.10.1/24 and a second pve node not in a cluster but on same management subnet and the node has a bridge of vrmb 1 with the same subnet of the 1st node of 10.172.10.1?

Love to see people learn. Welcome abord! You want to write a /24 subnet as 10.172.10.0/24 because thats the network address, otherwise you're referencing a host-address. Bridge-Interfaces are commonly known and referenced as vmbr or br (but can be named however you'd like).

You can have as many as nodes as you like containing a bridge into your 10.172.10.0/24 subnet as long as these nodes have different IP addresses. Usually you'd want one IP of your subnet to be a gateway (for a /24 commonly .1), one will be your broadcast address (commonly .255) and the rest will be your host addresses .2 ... .254.

awesome yes, that is the plan each would have its on ip address within that subnet. Thanks for such a quick reply as well. I thought I put 10.172.10.0/24 my bad, guess I need to learn to proofread before posting, but that is a weakness of mine when writing. lol
