Adding multiple bridges on a single NIC

[strawhat]

Hi. I'm new to proxmox and networking so please bear with me. I'm running proxmox on an Intel NUC. I want to know how can we replicate VMware Workstation Pro's way of adding multiple virtual network adapters on proxmox. I've tried searching about it and trying to read different forums but it's all going over my head. I'm trying to install a VM with multiple network adapters.

Edit: Solved. Sorry, this was a v stupid post. All I had to do was just keep adding the same linux bridge and it would create multiple network adapters inside the VM. For some reason, I thought I had to have multiple bridges for this. I feel so dumb rn

If you're trying to install a VM with multiple network adapters, then although the initial "Create VM" dialog doesn't seem to let you do it, you can switch to the "Hardware" tab for the VM and add new hardware (including network adapters) afterwards.

Is that the bit you're getting stuck on?

Hi. Thanks for the reply.

So, this is the network of my proxmox node. My intel NUC has just 1 NIC.


Can I not just add multiple bridges on that one network device enp86s0? When I try to do that, I get an error that the network device is already in use on interface vmbr0.





This is how I used to do on VMware workstation. I could just add as many as I wanted.

Oh. What happens if you create the virtual network adapters in your VM, but you don't tell it any network interface? ie leave that field blank

For another thought, you might be able to create the networks your want under the Datacenter → SDN section. I've not touched that much yet myself, but it seems like the right kind of thing for doing what you want.

I can't add a network adapter to my VM without selecting a bridge. I've to select something there. And I've no idea about the Datacenter - SDN thing

Check OP. I edited. It was just a stupid post lol

It's all good. I wish I was better with the networking side of Proxmox, but it's an area I've not yet had focus time for.

Er... good luck?

We keep learning all the time. and thanks man, I didn't expect to receive a reply that quickly if at all. Good luck to you too!
