How to configure the RPNv2 on a Dedibox
RPNv2 can be configured on any operating system supporting VLANs. The feature is available for selected Dedibox servers.
How to configure RPNv2 on Debian
- Install the vlan package by running the following command:
sudo apt-get install vlan
- Edit your
/etc/network/interfaces
file as follows (assuming your RPN NIC iseth1
and your VLAN ID is3900
):auto eth1.3900iface eth1.3900 inet staticaddress my.pri.vate.addressnetmask my.custom.net.mask
How to configure RPNv2 on Ubuntu
The following configuration example uses Netplan. If you are using a classic network configuration, refer to the Debian documentation.
network: version: 2 renderer: networkd ethernets: mainif: match: macaddress: "de:ad:be:ef:ca:fe" set-name: mainif addresses: [ "10.3.0.5/23" ] gateway4: 10.3.0.1 nameservers: addresses: [ "8.8.8.8", "8.8.4.4" ] search: [ example.com ] vlans: vlan15: id: 15 link: mainif addresses: [ "10.3.99.5/24" ]
How to configure RPNv2 on CentOS
In the following ‘how to’ we assume your RPN NIC is eth1
.
- Create a configuration file for the parent interface, called
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1
:DEVICE=eth1TYPE=EthernetBOOTPROTO=noneONBOOT=yes - Create another file for the vlan interface (assuming the VLAN ID is
3900
). The file is called/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1.3900
:DEVICE=eth1.3900BOOTPROTO=noneONBOOT=yesIPADDR=my.pri.vate.addressPREFIX=CIDR.NetmaskNETWORK=my.private.address.0VLAN=YES
How to configure RPNv2 on FreeBSD
Edit your /etc/rc.conf file
, assuming ix0
is your RPN NIC, and 3900
your VLAN ID:
ifconfig_ix0="up"cloned_interfaces="vlan3900"ifconfig_vlan3900="inet my.pri.vate.IP/CIDR.NETMASK vlan 3900 vlandev ix0"
Do not forget to adapt the VLAN ID, Interface Name, and Network configuration to your needs.
How to configure RPNv2 on ESXi
On ESXi you can create virtual switches that talk directly on the corresponding VLAN ID.
- Check your network interfaces, to discover which one corresponds to the RPN interface. In the following example, the RPN interface is
vmnic2
. - Enter the Virtual switch section and add a new one by clicking Add standard virtual switch:
- Enter a name for the virtual switch, set the MTU to
9000
and select the RPN interface as uplink: - Click the Port groups tab and click Add port group to create a new one:
- Enter a name for the new port group and set the VLAN IP, then select the virtual switch and click Add.
The virtual switch is configured now.
Create a NIC directly linked on your new Group (VM Network in the example above) and configure it in your virtual machine using your address-plan.
No VLAN Configuration is required in your VM, everything is handled in your vSwitch directly.
How to configure RPNv2 on Proxmox
-
Login to the Proxmox web interface anc click System > Network.
-
Click Create on the network page.
-
Configure your bridge with a
bridge_port
which will be named after your RPN NIC, and your VLAN ID.Tip:For instance, if your RPN NIC is eth2 and your VLAN ID 3900, name it
eth2.3900
