Adding new networking interfaces (VLANS)

[Guy]

Hello,

I had cause to add another VLAN to my proxmox system this morning.

edited the the /etc/networks/interfaces and added in the bridge..

auto vmbr10
iface vmbr10 inet manual
bridge_ports eth0.4010
bridge_stp off
bridge_fd 0


I then restarted the network..

/etc/init.d/networking restart

Which does indeed present the networking interfaces in the GUI and I can use them, however all the virtual servers running stop accepting/sending traffic on all their interfaces, the only why I could get them to recover was to reboot.

What's the better way to do this?

Cheers,

You can use 'vconfig' and 'brctl' manually to activate it (but its a bit clumsy).
