Guy,<div><br></div><div>Thanks for the input.</div><div><br></div><div>If I create a vmbr1 and then whenever I create a container can't I simply select vmbr1 as the venet or veth? Are you saying I have to change things on the host node (I'd like to stay away from that).</div>
<div><br></div><div>What is involved with pfSense vlans? My pfSense has 3 ports. My ISP gives two totally separate blocks of IPs to us (one is a /29 and other is a /27). The /29 right now is using WAN port on pfSense. LAN-1 port is going to Proxmox. I am only left with LAN-2. If I use that as WAN-2 then I don't have a LAN port left to connect to proxmox.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Do you see VLANs to be still easier for me to setup the /27 onto and managing overhead would be lower than getting a second router involved?</div><div><br></div><div>Best,<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

<div><div>Why not use VLANs on your pfsense firewall I do this all the time. </div><div><br></div><div>On a side note. You can't have two default routes. You can add routes to specific networks. As this is standard Debian you can google for details on setting that up<br>

<div>Hi Everyone,<div><br></div><div>I have a SuperMicro server with two NIC ports on it. Eth0 is connected to a pfSense router and all the VM and Containers obtain DHCP IP from that router via Proxmox vmbr0. I want to add another router to the equation for redundancy and also because we got another block of IP addresses that I want to use. My current pfSense router doesn't have the ports needed to do the job so I need a second pfSense router for this. This is what I see in Network setup now:</div>

</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>I have previously lost access to Proxmox GUI when turning on the eth1. I don't have the luxury of testing now. I have to do this precisely and correctly. So my questions are:</div>
<div><br></div><div>1- What files backup should I do first so that if I loose access to Proxmox GUI, I can restore them and do a "network restart" and get it all running to previous working state?</div><div>2- The new router will be supply <a href="http://192.168.20.0/24" target="_blank">192.168.20.0/24</a> IP ranges. After I connect it to eth1 port on the server, what should I do to turn it on.</div>
<div>3- Once it's setup, how do I go about dictating which VM or Container should obtain IP from which interface? do I need a vmbr1?</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks</div>
