Proxmox server multiple NICs with OPNsense VM.

[Apone]

Hi,

New here.. first post.. Any help would be much appreciated.

I have installed Proxmox on my system which has dual 10gb NICs and created an OPNsense VM.

NIC: Intel x540-T2
1 NIC for LAN
1 NIC for WAN

I have added a new 10gb NIC (Intel x540-T2) to the proxmox server and my desktop with the hopes of NIC aggregation with the proxmox server/OPNsense router.

Problem:
I'm running into issues creating the correct proxmox network configuration.

I added the new Intel x540-T2 ports enp36s0f0 and enp36s0f1 to a separate bridge and tried to give them a gateway of 10.0.0.1.
I was unable to do this and proxmox said the gateway was in use on vmbr0.

current output

I was able to add the new NICs to the existing bridge and configure intel NIC teaming on my desktop.

The following config worked for me.

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

iface eno2 inet manual

iface eno1 inet manual

auto enp36s0f0
iface enp36s0f0 inet manual

auto enp36s0f1
iface enp36s0f1 inet manual

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
address 10.0.0.10/24
gateway 10.0.0.1
bridge-ports eno2 enp36s0f0 enp36s0f1
bridge-stp off
bridge-fd 0

auto vmbr1
iface vmbr1 inet manual
bridge-ports eno1
bridge-stp off
bridge-fd 0
