I have a FW running in a VM, I have VMs and I have docker. All in Unraid I want to create a "virtual NIC" attach it as a interface to the FW VM, and have it available to docker and other VMs. As far as I understood this is possible with the explanations given. Right? One concern is the speed of the interface, currently I'm using 10gb nics, but this would liberate some of them for other purposes. So I guess the virtual nic will consume CPU, not a problem, but is there a way to know what would be the expected performance? how the new virtual adapters will appear in the VM's? as 1000 Mbps, full duplex? 10000? is there a way to configure this? is there any other configuration with better performance? I don't see anything related to this here https://libvirt.org/formatnetwork.html Thanks Edited October 3, 2023 by L0rdRaiden Quote Link to comment
L0rdRaiden Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 (edited) I made a diagram because what I want to achieve is more complex than I thought Is this even possible with unraid? a virtual switch with vlans? what would be the expected performance? This is the firewall HA arq Edited October 3, 2023 by L0rdRaiden Quote Link to comment
L0rdRaiden Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 I think this draw is more clear In this case the containers inside the docker bridge network would be visible to the firewall? Or docker bridge mode will NAT everything? I mean if a container in docker 0 communicate with a container in docker 1, what source an dest IP will I see in the firewall? Quote Link to comment
L0k1 Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Have you had any luck with this? I've been trying to get something similar up and running. Quote Link to comment
