Subject: [PATCH pve-network v5 09/15] sdn: zones: allow the ebpf DHCP backend on every zone type
Date: Mon,  2 Nov 2026 16:18:36 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261102151842.1605234-10-h.laimer@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261102151842.1605234-1-h.laimer@proxmox.com>

The ebpf backend answers each guest on the guest's own tap or veth
device, so the zone type makes no difference to it. dnsmasq stays
limited to simple zones, since every node runs its own instance on
the vnet bridge and only a simple zone's bridge is cut off from the
other nodes. Choosing it elsewhere fails on create and on update.

Every zone type now reports the MTU its guests should use. The ebpf
backend hands it out, and until now only simple zones could answer.
A VXLAN or EVPN zone without an MTU setting takes it from the
interface that reaches its peers.

Notes:
    v5:
     * the VXLAN MTU helper moved into the preceding MTU fix
