Unable to bridge network interface to OpenVZ container

[deranjer]

I have 3 NIC cards

1 is currently not being used.

1 is in the 10.10.10.x IP range and I want to use that just for connecting to the proxmox host. It is not bridged/bonded and is simply (eth0)

1 is connected to my 192.168.1.x router and I want to use that connection for my OpenVZ container.
My 192.168.1.x interface (eth1) is part of (vmbr1) as a slaved interface. My openVZ container is connected to (vmbr1). However, I am able to connect to my host machine through EITHER IP: 10.10.10.x OR 192.168.1.x.
How do I make it so that (eth1:192.168.1.x) is connected to my OpenVZ container and is not used by my host?

Please can you post your network config (/etc/network/interfaces).

Remove the IP address from the bridge.

Yes thank you Udo actually helped me figure that out in a different thread. I was unable to console into my machine (different issue obviously) so thought that I may have to set the IP address at the bridge in this case. However once my VM was fixed I was able to set the IP in my VM and then everything worked. Thanks!
