adding new linux bridge

[sgonzalez]

Hi, how are you doing folks? Hope you are doing fine.

I have a proxmox server, with 1 Linux bridge (vmbr0) it has 5 usable IP´s and I already used them all.



I´ve acquired a new IP block with my datacenter. They assigned us a 13 usable IP block. We would like to start using it but I have 2 questions first.

1) its as simple as adding a new Linux bridge called "vmbr1"?
2) That wont generate any issue with the existing vm´s using vmbr0 ?


Thanks

Have you already added the bridge?

Yes, adding a new bridge is only a few clicks in the GUI.

2) That wont generate any issue with the existing vm´s using vmbr0 ?

Probably not. It's like adding a second switch.

it has 5 usable IP´s and I already used them all.

Do you mean you attached 5 VMs to the bridge and they use the IPs? What does your /etc/network/interfaces look like?
