Hi guys,
I should start by saying that I have not had the pleasure of configuring vlans in the past, but recently am needing to, so I am hoping some of you good people with vlan experience can help me out a little. It will be greatly appreciated!
I am going to attach a PNG file with my current setup, and describe some of the things not mentioned in the diagram.
I have a 3 node Proxmox Cluster
On node 1 eth1 is plugged directly to the WAN and bridged to a pfsense VM.
pfsense vm has 3 interfaces (1-wan, 2-lan, 3-vlan10)
I am hoping that pfsense can server as my main router as well as provide vlan routing as I will be needing probably at least 5 different vlan groups.
As per some threads I have setup separate bridges on each node for each vlan (always using eth0 on each node). So I have vbridge10, vbridge20, vbridge30 on each proxmox node.
I setup pfsense, and a couple vms on node 1 for vlan10, exported proper bridge device to the machines, modified pfsense rules to allow the traffic and all is working wonderfully.
Only on node 1 though, if I launch a vm on node 2, attach vmbridge10 to it, do everything like on node 1, I can not access the pfsense router, or any vms on node 1.
I am guessing that it's possibly because of the switch? I am not sure... this is where I need some help.
The part I don't understand is if I will be needing say 5 vlan groups, and I indeed need the switch to tag a port for each vlan, I won't be able to achieve that as each of my proxmox hosts only has 2 nics (node 1 has only one available because of wan).
I am thinking there has to be away to achieve this virtually (not via physical switch).
My main network is 192.168.1.0/24 (lan interface on pfsense, also subnet that proxmox is on)
vlan10 is 10.10.0.0/24 (pfsense vlan10 interface)
Thanks in advance guys, much appreciated!network_diagram.png
