--- # Jumbo frames on the LAN. # # VERIFIED 2026-07-25: the unmanaged switch passes 8972-byte payloads with DF set # between all three nodes, so jumbo works despite there being no managed switch. # # WHY: (1) DRBD/LINSTOR replicates every write across this single 1G link — # larger frames mean fewer interrupts and better throughput on the storage path. # (2) It gives VXLAN room for its ~50-byte overhead, so SDN guests keep a normal # 1500 MTU instead of being cut to 1450 (retro OSes handle PMTUD badly). # # SAFETY on a mixed-MTU segment (router/DC/laptop remain 1500): TCP exchanges MSS # in the SYN, so each side sends no more than the other advertised — verified, # 1472B pings to all three still pass. The residual risk is only large UDP to a # 1500-MTU host; there is none here (corosync uses its own netmtu 1500, DNS is # small, NFS is TCP). pve_network_mtu: 9000 # Make vmbr0 VLAN-aware so PVE SDN "vlan" zones can hang tagged VNets off it. # # VERIFIED on this LAN 2026-07-25: the unmanaged switch forwards 802.1Q-tagged # frames untouched (tested VLAN 100 between nodes at both 1472B and 8972B). Dumb # switches forward on MAC only — the tag is opaque payload to them. # # So VLAN zones beat VXLAN here: native forwarding, no encapsulation overhead, no # MTU maths. Trade-off: a dumb switch enforces no isolation, so VLANs give # SEGMENTATION, not security — anything on the LAN could inject tagged frames. # Fine for lab networks; do not treat a VLAN here as a security boundary. pve_network_vlan_aware: true pve_network_bridge_vids: "2-4094"
