Proxmox SOFTWARE DEFINED NETWORKING: Zones, VNets, and VLANs

I made a Proxmox VLANs, Bridges, and Bonds tutorial awhile ago, but since then, the Software Defined Networking module has come out of tech preview! So it’s time to take a look at it!

With SDN, you can manage your Proxmox VNets and VNet Zones cluster-wide, and enforce permissions on users who…

  1. BGP announcing MAC-addresses for routing, I … hadn't expected that one, but it actually sounds pretty great. That might be a great way to scale large installations.

  2. Love your content: My environment New Proxmox 8.1 on hp elitedesk with additional USB 1GB adapters. Problem is, while following your tutorial creating VNet I get this error: netlink : error: netlink: enx00051bc91f64.6: cannot create vlan enx00051bc91f64.6 6: interface name exceeds max length of 15.
    So is there anyway to rename the two USP network adapters? I believe they were auto created using the mac.

  3. You can even give permissions to a single vnet. Though currently not in the DC->Permission panel. But if you select the Zone in the tree view, you can select the vnets and define permissions for it on the panel on the right side.
    Great video and nice explanations 🙂

  4. Question about the VLAN zone. Does this mean that the trunk link between the Proxmox node and the network switch can be done via the SDN VLAN zone?

    I'm using OpenvSwitch and created IntPort for each VLAN tag. For what I can tell from your video, there is no need to create the OvS tags anymore. The tags are now done in SDN VLAN zone. Is that correct?

  5. My question is can i do a vlan for proxmox hosts without an external managed switch? All the research i did showed that a non managed switch would just ignore the vlan tags and send it out anyways?

  6. Damn, I was hoping this would include VXLAN and EVPN, but I guess that would deserve a followup video all by itself anyway. My use case is distributing a public /24 across all nodes in a cluster without any help from upstream.

  7. This SDN feature makes me wonder about setting up something like vxlan to route traffic between ProxMox clusters via the WAN. I'll have to look into it.

  8. If you can send routed packets via UDP to proxmox entities in different broadcast domains, could you use this for multicasting to different domains? I'm thinking like fog imaging to different VLANs

  9. Interesting that Proxmox is embracing more enterprise data center features, makes me wonder if they want to enter vSphere/OpenStack territory.

  10. I usually understand your videos, today was kind of… no. Probably lack of SDN basics. But still nice video. I don't see any usage of SDN but again: I simply don't get it (yet) 😉

  11. Hi, can you perhaps speak a little slower and more clearly? Your sound quality is relatively poor, making it difficult to understand you and the automatic translation only works sporadically. Thanks a lot 🙂
