I broke the networking on a proxmox node by entering an invalid configuration in the GUI.

I need instructions on how to manually adjust /etc/network/interfaces to manually set the bridge and eth0 back to a working configuration.

What's an ideal config. This is on a manually built Proxmox in Debian. I have eth0 and eth1.

eth0 was previously set as
IP 192.168.3.17
MASk 255.255.255.0
GW 192.168.3.10

and no bridge was setup.
Thanks!
 
This is what /etc/network/interfaces looks like on one my hosts.

Code:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
    address 192.168.1.10
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    gateway 192.168.1.1
    bridge_ports eth0
    bridge_stp off
    bridge_fd 0
