Hi,
I'm a bit confused by the bridging setup. Here's my setup and what I'm trying to achieve:
Previously I only had the eth0, vmbr0 interface activated on the Proxmox host. Now I've connected a physical Ethernet cable to eth1 and created vmbr1 on that NIC. The way I thought this would work is that the vmbr1 would simply act as another switch (off of my physical LAN switch) and any VMs with their network cards connected to the vmbr1 would be able to connect on the LAN side and potentially even getting DHCP addresses from my LAN DHCP server. The eth0/vmbr0 network works just like that, with the difference of course that the vmbr0 actually has an IP address. However, I didn't think I needed an IP address for the vmbr1 interface, as I have no specific need for it.
So, based on the above, I've got it set up the way I *thought* it would work, but it doesn't. Here's my interfaces setup on my Proxmox box:
Seems to be pretty straight forward, but for whatever reason it's not working. I'm sure I must be missing something obvious here, so if anyone can point out what I'm doing wrong, that would be great.
Thanks in advance.
I'm a bit confused by the bridging setup. Here's my setup and what I'm trying to achieve:
- Firewall with multiple WAN IPs, providing NAT to the VMs in the DMZ
- Two networks:
- DMZ (192.168.9.0/24) on eth0/vmbr0 connected to a dedicated switch directly off the firewall
- LAN (192.168.10.0/24) on eth1/vmbr1 connected to a dedicated switch directly off the firewall
- All my VMs are (currently) running in the DMZ
- I now want to run some VMs in the LAN
