Subject: [PATCH installer v4 16/30] install: network: set up vlan on management interface if requested
Date: Mon, 2 Nov 2026 13:45:22 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261102124539.1008075-17-c.heiss@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261102124539.1008075-1-c.heiss@proxmox.com>
Adds the necessary configuration to /etc/network/interfaces when a VLAN
ID was configured by the user in the installation config.
Depending on the rest of the network configuration (bridged, bonded), a
separated (dotted) VLAN interface will be created and integrated in the
rest of the configuration as needed.
This follows our recommended approach for setting up such a
network configuration.
Signed-off-by: Christoph Heiss <c.heiss@proxmox.com>
---
Had a discussion with @Stefan about this, and this way of configuring
this was the best / most user-friendly we plotted out.
Changes v3 -> v4:
* no changes
Changes v2 -> v3:
* new patch
