Hi there,
Got another problem re the switch. I was able to separate the MGMT port from main bridge and assign to it a static IP, so that I could always gain access via that port.
Now I want to make my life easier and have the webui (webfig) and other services exposed to clients in the same VLAN.
Again, the setup was a virtualized opnsense instance. All traffic coming out of LAN port was tagged VLAN. One of the VLANs (VLAN10) is combined with a VLAN-Aware VMBR so that Proxmox VMs can be in the same network. (VLAN 10 - 192.168.10.0/24) There’s also a VLAN 88 with static IP range / DHCP server set up that was unused. (192.168.88.0/24) I have Proxmox itself sitting on that with a static IP, but would need static outside DNS to get internet access.
The closest I am to success is -
Set up a VLAN interface under Interfaces with VLAN ID = 10, do nothing with the bridge, assign a static IP to the VLAN interface (say 192.168.10.10) and manually set a remote DNS. This way the switch is connected to the Internet, and Proxmox VMs can ping it / access webui. However, none of the devices connected to the switch itself on the same subnet can ping 192.168.10.10 .
I then tried to bind the switch to VLAN 88, using the same strategy, it is not reachable at all by Proxmox. By no means it could reach the internet either. If I set up a bridge VLAN interface with ID = 88, tag both combo1 (trunk) and bridge, and try assigning an IP to the bridge interface, it still doesn’t work. The switch is completely unreachable by other hosts nor it can ping others in the 88 subnet.
I’m wondering if there’s a way to achieve my goal? Also how to make the switch obtain its own IP automatically over a specific VLAN? I tried “IP config” under “Quick Setup” but it seems it always binds itself to ether2 for some reason and it is pretty wonky.
FYR there’s no FW rules set up.
Many thanks!!!
