VMBR Config vs Port Config

Hello all,

My PVE network config is as follows:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

iface eno1 inet manual

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet manual
bridge-ports eno1
bridge-stp off
bridge-fd 0
bridge-vlan-aware yes
bridge-vids 1 20 30

auto vmbr0.1
iface vmbr0.1 inet dhcp

iface enp1s0f0 inet manual

auto vmbr1
iface vmbr1 inet manual
bridge-ports enp1s0f0
bridge-stp off
bridge-fd 0
bridge-vlan-aware yes
bridge-vids 1 10 12

iface enp1s0f1 inet manual

auto vmbr2
iface vmbr2 inet manual
bridge-ports enp1s0f1
bridge-stp off
bridge-fd 0
bridge-vlan-aware yes
bridge-vids 20 25 30

iface enp1s0f2 inet manual

#auto vmbr3
#iface vmbr3 inet static
# address 172.16.2.2/24
# gateway 172.16.2.1
# bridge-ports enp1s0f2
# bridge-stp off
# bridge-fd 0


If I uncomment VMBR3 I lose access to the PVE server itself. VMBR3 is configured to connect to my ISP router, so I can gain Internet access. The LAN IP of the router is 172.16.2.1, thus why I am using the gateway in the config. Why would this cause me to lose full access to my PVE server? Should this config be on the LAN port(enp1s0f2) itself and bypass a VMBR all together?


Thanks,
Steve
