I've installed Debian Jessie, set up a bridge interface, then installed Proxmox 4. My problem is that when going to create a VM there's no bridges listed in the combo box at Network>Bridged mode>Bridge. Does anyone know why the bridge might not be showing up? As a newbie unfortunately I can't post screenshots, but my /etc/network/interface is:
Code:
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet manual
 
auto br0
iface br0 inet static
    address 10.22.33.8
    network 10.22.33.0
    broadcast 10.22.33.255
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    gateway 10.22.33.1
    bridge_ports eth1
    bridge_fd 9
    bridge_hello 2
    bridge_maxage 12
    bridge_stp off

And when looking in proxmox under System>Network on the host, the table shows br0 and eth1 as active. One thing that concerns me is that br0 type is listed as 'Unknown', perhaps this could be the problem? Devices table below:
Code:
Name,Type,Active,Autostart,Ports/Slaves,IP,Subnet,Gateway
br0,Unknown,Yes,Yes,,10.22.33.8,255.255.255.0,10.22.33.1
eth1,Network device,Yes,Yes,,,,
 
the naming scheme is vmbrX
then it should work
