network

I have been using a lot of TP-Link products from the Omada series, and deployed the omada controller for centralization of the configuration (mostly for VLan configuration and wireless management). In some cases, I ended up having issues with the wifi roaming, or with the configuration because I was restarting the proxmox node on which the controller was running and no configuration could be provided.

With 6 Gigabit and 2 10G SFP interfaces available on the VEP1445 (and other VEP1400x or Edge 620-680 series), the default interface assignment of debian or proxmox is sometimes not the most convenient.

For reference the interfaces are assigned as follows on my latest Proxmox 9.0 installation
