[PVE-User] vlan setup at time of host installation

[Rainer Krienke]

Hi Timo,

I never searched if the installer offers a way to configure vlans. I 
just used the installer to get a basic system installed so I can access 
the system by some ip:8006.

Then I manually configured /etc/network/interfaces adding bonds and 
vlans as needed (see man5 interfaces, "ifupdown2"  pkg):

Add a interface bond:
iface bond0 inet manual
         bond-slaves enp33s0f0 enp33s0f2 #  network interfaces
         bond-miimon 100
         bond-mode 802.3ad
         bond-xmit-hash-policy layer3+4
         bond-miiomon 100
         bond-lacp-rate 1
         bond-min-links 1

and then vlans with or without ips based on the bond usable to reach the 
host itself as well as usable for vms

auto vmbr3   # vlan3
iface vmbr3 inet manual
         bridge-ports bond0.3
         bridge-stp off
         bridge-fd 0

iface vmbr2 inet static  vlan2
         address a.b.c.d/n
         gateway a.b.c.e
         bridge-ports bond0.2
         bridge-stp off
         bridge-fd 0

Have a nice day
Rainer

I have found some notes about vlans in the documentation but it only describes some sections in /etc/network/interfaces but it doesn’t say when this should be done. In fact I did one of the proposed methods and I can connect to the management ip address in that vlan but I wonder if it was right how I did it. I installed from the iso, configured some ip because I didn’t find any option for using vlans in the installer and then searched through the documentation. I changed the /etc/network/interfaces and did a reboot. Where after I was able to connect to the ip address that I configured. However in the console I can still read „use blabla ip and port 8006“ which is the ip I used during the installation.
