    Hi folks, I am setting up a virtual network on a virtual host (linux). The vm container I'm going with is proxmox, because it will allow me to run both kvm machines and containerised machines at the same time, but I'm having lots of 'fun' getting virtual networking set-up

    I have realised I haven't got a clue about networking :(

    I 'think' I want a set-up involving openvSwitch or vde, but I'm not certain, and I can't find any good (as in I can understand them properly) guides

    Can anyone give me some help in getting this set-up?

    My virtualization solution is Proxmox, which at the moment it is running 3 containerized linux's (more virtualized and a few kvm's will be added).

    I want (I think) a vlan for each of the 3 networks. I will put the vm's onto one of the vlans, then depending which network I want to use, to switch the real adapter attached to it, or have each real interface hooked into a vlan and depending on what I'm working on, move the vm's between vlans.
    But I need to have fixed ip's on the vm machines, they will be running oracle software, which seriously dislikes ip changes, so they must be static addresses


    My physical set-up ...
    a high spec'd pc with one nic (I will be adding 2 more)
    3 separate networks, one is my corp network, the other 2 are customer ones
