Subject: [RFC manager/network/proxmox{-ve-rs,-perl-rs} 00/15] SDN VRF support
Date: Fri, 21 Aug 2026 16:03:44 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260821140404.322081-1-g.goller@proxmox.com> (raw)

This RFC adds VRF support to SDN zones and fabrics.

A simple zone can now use either the default VRF or a dedicated VRF. The
simple zone dialog has a checkbox for this and uses the default VRF by
default. If the checkbox is disabled, the zone creates a dedicated VRF named
`vrf_<zone-name>`. EVPN zones always create a dedicated VRF. BGP and OSPF
fabrics can select a zone and run inside its VRF.

This is the second iteration. The first iteration added VRFs as a separate
SDN object with a distinct GUI subdirectory. This was scrapped because VRFs
are an implementation detail and should not be exposed on their own in the
GUI. Zones already provide a logical L3 building block and should map to VRFs
instead.

Route leaking between VRFs partly depends on the following FRR change, so it
will come a bit later: https://github.com/FRRouting/frr/pull/22426

As always, thanks to Stefan Hanreich for his help.
