💻 Proxmox VE Course III-A-4. VLAN (Virtual LAN) Configuration: Applying VLAN Tags to VM/CT
🏗 Logical Separation of Virtual Networks: Why is VLAN Necessary? When operating a virtualized server, there are times when you need to split the network into several segments for security reasons or efficient resource management While you could solve this by plugging in multiple physical NICs, hardware limitations and complex cabling often get in the way This is where #VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) comes in as the solution VLAN is a technology that allows you to build multiple logically independent networks on top of a single physical network infrastructure In this #lecture , we will master the advanced #method of isolating Virtual Machines (VMs) and Containers (CT) into different network groups by configuring VLANs in a Proxmox VE environment 1. Basic Principles of VLAN and its Role in Virtualization VLANs distinguish data by attaching a 'label' called a 'Tag' to packets A. VLAN Tagging (802.1Q) Using the standard 802.1Q protocol, a VLAN ID (1–4094) is inserte...
