1.We want:

1.1 Automate testing eden/eve on packet servers via github actions.

...

2.2.3 Virtual Networks (VLANs) can work only in one metro (New York, Dallas etc...).

Solution:

1. We need to create Virtual Network(Vlan) in each metro that has servers for testing. (Justification 2.2.3)
   1. Each such network must have a server with a DHCP server. (Justification 2.2.3, 2.1.2, 2.2.1
   2. For each such virtual network, a server with OpenVpn OpenVPN must be configured and clients must be accessible from this virtual network. (Justification 2.1.1, 2.2.3)

Step by step guid for setup network, dhcp, openvpn in each metro:

P.S. Each server in packet is equipped with 2 internet ports connected in bond.

1. Create Virtual Network(Vlan).
2. Create Ubuntu Server.
   1. Disbond eth1 port from bond0 via .
   2. Assign eth1 port to virtual network via ports packet API.
   3. Assign a eth1 port to anther virtual network via API. (This is necessary in order to make the VLAN native, I don't know why, but exactly 2 networks are required. Anther virtual network can be anything.)
   4. Make virtual newtork as native on a eth1 port.
   5. Configure eth1 port in Ubuntu OS(remove from bond and setup static IP).
   6. Setup DHCP server on eth1(example pool: 192.168.33.2-192.168.33.127, mask 255.255.255.0 without gateway, we dont use gateway).
   7. Setup OpenVPN server on eth0, and give client IP's from pool (example: 192.168.33.127-192.168.33.245 mask 255.255.255.0).
   8. Make bridge between OpenVPN clients connections and eth1.

Step by step in Github Actions:

1. Connect to a Needed location VPN server.
2. Create new server with ipxe boot in packet hosting.
   1. Disbond eth1 port from bond0.
   2. Assign eth1 port to virtual network.
   3. Assign eth1 port to anther virtual network. (This is necessary in order to make the VLAN native, I don't know why, but exactly 2 networks are required. Anther virtual network can be anything.)
   4. Make virtual newtork as native on a eth1 port.
