    ClearOS template

    I'd like to kick some life into this suggestion. Too bad the ClearOS dev's - Peter Baldwin's query here above didn't receive any response. But that was in April before the Proxmox v3 release. In the light of Proxmox v3 and the new possibility of creating KVM templates, is there some issue...

    1 Server, 2 NICs

    A while back I asked the same question. e100 replied that

    eth(x) to MAC assignment arbitrary

    I meant it for documentation that is too general or documentation which is too specific - both extremes have their own disadvantages. For example, that Debian handbook is too general (I suppose it applies because Proxmox is based on Debian linux?) although I did find some useful info in it...

    eth(x) to MAC assignment arbitrary

    Sorry for not replying sooner. These difficulties I have with Proxmox frustrate me that I always set it aside for few days after having a bout with it. But I do return as you see. -------------------------- Well, why do I assign IP. Its just for excercise, to see how it works. Also to be able...

    eth(x) to MAC assignment arbitrary

    Thanks. The question then is - would this forwarding also work with VMs (KVM OpenVZ)? I suppose it would. Now I see why that discussion of setting up iptables on Proxmox host is vital (if one wants to run ClearOS router/firewall) but I can't find it anymore. Can that forwarding be switched...

    eth(x) to MAC assignment arbitrary

    I did something which confirms I don't understand networking on P-VE I have server with P-VE installed and I connect to it via the bridge it created for me during installation. That bridge, vmbr0 is assigned eth0 and I connect to P-VE webinterface on the static IP 192.168.1.2:8006 via...

    eth(x) to MAC assignment arbitrary

    I removed the second NIC. so that only onboard double ports plus one added double port NIC were left and got this result: Then I plugged the second double port NIC back in and P-VE reshuffled them:

    eth(x) to MAC assignment arbitrary

    OK I will have to think about it. I just don't get it. Those udev lines (udev[460]: renamed network interface eth2 to eth2-eth4) I take it are simply telling me what was done during reboot and the result of that action should show up above in that file where eth#s are associated with MAC #s of...

    eth(x) to MAC assignment arbitrary

    Well then I must be misunderstanding all this business of 'ordering NICs like you want'. I expected after reboot to see the change when I run thedmesg | grep ethcommand but I don't see it, or more exactly I see some changes have been made but not how I wanted them to be. I expected to see...

    eth(x) to MAC assignment arbitrary

    I tried to reassign eth(x) to physical NICs as per Udo's advice given on this forum a while back and it doesn't work, respectively it reassigns eth numbers in arbitrary fashion. I followed this advice: I have only changed the numbering of 'eth' in 70-persistent-net.rules file and it did...

    NICs - how does it work?

    Thanks for info, I'll try to read up on it. As you say, it is the 'normal linux networking stuff'. For me it is difficult to tell what is specific to proxmox (virtual environment as such) and what is generic linux, probably most of it is just plain linux. My plans for the server is to install...

    NICs - how does it work?

    I have been reading up to ten pages back on the forum here and already looked at the '70-persistent-net.rules' file and ran the 'dmesg | grep eth' command and it looks like both NICs have installed properly. I suppose I do something one is not supposed to do. Perhaps I am not supposed to edit...

    Web interface not working

    I find proxmox web interface does these acts of vanishing anytime it can find some excuse. Luckily I am still able to wipe it all and keep reinstalling just to get web access again.

    NICs - how does it work?

    I've just found out that MAC one can input when making new Vmachine and I suppose that can be found out somehow. I've just experimented with adding some interface, forgot its name or type which was offered by default, I put in IP, mask, it told me I can't use my gateway, I tried different...

    NICs - how does it work?

    Hi there, I have installed v2.1 on my Dell T310 server and it comes with two ethernet ports on board. Because I intend to experiment with running VM as firewall gateway which I believe should have its own physical ethernet ports to use (and minimum for this are two dedicated ports - one for WAN...
