Hi,


I installed a fresh Debian (9.6) and installed PXE 5.3 over it.

After adding vmbr0 to /etc/network/interfaces the host has no working internet connection.

bytegetter@zotacproxmox:~$ cat /etc/network/interfaces
source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

iface enp2s0 inet manual

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static

Whats wrong?

did you reboot after editing `/etc/network/interfaces` ?
It seems like there is an ip configured on enp2s0, which is joined on vmbr0 - this won't work.
 
Hi, of course, I rebootet the machine.

With
iface enp2s0 inet static
address 192.168.200.9
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.200.1
and no vmbr0 the machine is reachable.

Changing the configuration and rebooting gives a non reachable machine. I´ve tried this 3 days long and can´t get it work..
 
2: enp2s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast master vmbr0 state UP group default qlen 1000
link/ether 00:01:2e:83:61:37 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet 192.168.200.9/24 brd 192.168.200.255 scope global enp2s0
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

This says, that 192.168.200.9/24 is configured on enp2s0, which conflicts with the same configuration on vmbr0 - the question is where the ip on enp2s0 gets set - do you have any files in `/etc/network/interfaces.d` ?
Else - maybe try to grep in /etc for 192.168.200.9
 
Hi, this is courios.

On all of my machines is an IP on the hardware-interface and the bridge interface (ok, none of the machines is stable).

Interfaces.d is empty and mostly removed in /etc/network/interfaces.

root@zotacproxmox:/etc/network# ls -la if-up.d

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1483 Jun 2 2015 upstart
root@zotacproxmox:/etc/network#

I´ve installed a standard debian 9.6 netinstall (for hardware-encryption) and installed proxmox after this.
 
Solved.

I use fulldiskencryption. During boot the nic gets an ip via dhcp.

Code:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="ip=:::::enp2s0:dhcp"


This helps:
Code:
bytegetter@zotacproxmox:~$ cat /etc/network/interfaces
# network interface settings; autogenerated
# Please do NOT modify this file directly, unless you know what
# you're doing.
#
# If you want to manage part of the network configuration manually,
# please utilize the 'source' or 'source-directory' directives to do
# so.
# PVE will preserve these directives, but will NOT its network
# configuration from sourced files, so do not attempt to move any of
# the PVE managed interfaces into external files!

#source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*

Glad you found the solution! Please mark the thread as SOLVED - so that others know what to expect - Thanks!
