Why in doc is required a "dedicated nic" ?

[Pigi_102]

I was looking through documentation, and I've noticed that in the system requirements is requested a "dedicated nic".
I have some PDM installed as LXC, for little pve cluster, and if I was in need to control a big environment I could have choose for a VM or even a single machine, and obviously a nic is needed, but... dedicated ?
Thanks for every hint.

Where did you read that? https://pdm.proxmox.com/docs/installation.html#system-requirements doesn't have this.
It mentiones a nic as minimum requirement since you will obviouvsly need one for a bare-metal non-virtualized install. The redundancy-recommendation is for corporate environments where you don't want to loose access if one network links breaks down
