Made vm1, added two NICs, eth0 bridged to vmbr0->host eth0, eth1 bridged to vmbr1 bridged to no physical eth (wanted internal only networking).
Made vm2 added one NIC bridged to vmbr1. I was able to network using vm1 as a gateway.
Used webUI to add vmbr1, used no IP address and no physical device bridged. Set the IP on eth1 vm1 and eth0 vm2 to 192.168.1.0/24
Today, I started proxmox up and my vms would not start. The error was could not bring up vmbr1 (it did not exists) could not bring up tap1.
Looking on the webUI, vmbr1 was not there.
drove me nuts adding it again and not seeing a resolution until I noticed a little red line saying "network settings changed, please reboot to take effect". Rebooted.
vmbr1 came up as did the vms.
issued shutdown -h now via cli to test re-producing the symptoms.
box came back up with out issues.
I know this is a "ghost" problem but I list it here in the event someone else sees this behavior.
Two questions:
1. when I make a bridge not connected to a phy NIC, what should I put into the IP block. My internal only IP is 192.168.1.10 for vm1 and .11 for vm2. Should I put 192.168.1.0?
2. What is the tag for "code" I tried <CODE> and <QUOTE> and neither of them worked. never mind. It does not work in the previewer mode, but it quite obviously works in the "posted" mode.
