Hi Experts, I am building a VM debian cluster with the following required construct:
VM running Debian OS with IPv6 static IP configured with VLAN80 >> vNIC assigned to vmbr3093 >> vmbr3093 (with static IPv6 address and VLAN aware (2-4094)) bridged to bond0 >> bond0 configured to dummy0 dummy1 slaves, active-backup mode.
This VM infra doesn't need to reach any physical interface on the PVE host, this will be a purely self contained VM to other VMs cluster on PVE. The networking objects within /etc/network/interfaces are as follows:
auto vmbr3093
iface vmbr3093 inet6 static
address ****:****:****:***::ffff/64
bridge-ports bond0
bridge-stp off
bridge-vlan-aware yes
bridge-fd 0
auto bond0
iface bond0 inet manual
bond-slaves dummy0 dummy1
bond-miimon 100
bond-mode active-backup
ip link set bond0 up
auto dummy0
iface dummy0 inet manual
pre-up ip link add dummy0 type dummy || true
ip link set dummy0 up
down ip link del dummy0 || true
auto dummy1
iface dummy1 inet manual
pre-up ip link add dummy1 type dummy || true
up ip link set dummy1 up
down ip link del dummy1 || true
I have reloaded (ifreload -a) on PVE after each change. The IFs are up on the VM and gateways are set. PVE version is v8.3.5.
The issue I have is that when ssh'd to PVE, I can ping the vmbr IP, but not the VM IP. On the VM, I cannot ping the vmbr (acting as a gateway). If I reconfigure the VM with a static IP only (no VLAN config), I can ping the PVE host, vmbr IP, and other VMs without issue. I can also ping the VM interface from PVE.
The end goal here is to be able to route VM to VM and be able to ping the VM, and have the VM be able to ping other VMs in PVE. As soon as I configure the VLAN on the VM, network connectivity fails. If there are network experts in this field that can help I would appreciate it.
