Well after the series regarding integration with a Cisco 9k, I thought that we also needed something regarding Open-Source.

Well VyOS does not get any more open source than that, we will integrate a PVE cluster with a VyOS as a leaf. In addition we will use VyOS as an eBGP peer to access external clients. Read on! Continue reading “PVE SDN VyOS Integration Oh My!”

Introduction

In the final part of these series, we will integrate a Cisco 9k with a PVE cluster using the previous configurations we did setup.

Introduction

In part 2 we will continue with integration of a PVE cluster with a Cisco 9kv running NXOS.

Figure 1. shows the network diagram.

 We are using the 9000v as an eBGP peer for the PVE cluster. Any device that supports BGP can replace the Cisco 9k. Continue reading “PVE VXLAN NXOS Integration Continued Oh My!”

Introduction

The purpose of the following proof of concept is to demonstrate integration between Proxmox PVE and a Cisco 9000v.

PVE is a fantastic open-source virtualization environment. Recently it has gained a lot of traction in particular with the issues with VSphere licensing.

However, while I see several blogs and videos regarding it and in particular its SDN capabilities, I have not seen detail setups involving integration with other SDN devices.

This is unfortunate since the Cisco 9000 for example is very prevalent and at one point if someone decides to move to PVE, they will need to integrate Cisco or another device to it.

In any case, from the perspective of learning I think the following will be very instructional. Continue reading “PVE VXLAN NXOS Integration Oh My!”
