Subject: [PATCH pve-network v4 15/27] apply: add option to handle dangling references on VNet deletion
Date: Thu, 22 Oct 2026 14:46:56 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261022124708.429069-16-a.bied-charreton@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261022124708.429069-1-a.bied-charreton@proxmox.com>
For each VNet, 4 IPSets are auto-generated (<vnet>-all, -gateway,
-no-gateway and -dhcp) [0]. Therefore, deleting a VNet can lead to
rules referencing non-existing IPSets, which the firewall fails to
parse and ignores.
Add a 'dangling-ipset-references' option for PUT /cluster/sdn allowing
to 'drop' rules referencing now-deleted IPSets, 'disable' them, or
'keep' them as they are.
