Can someone please help me understand why my network is down on boot?

[rykr]

My system is z490 board with 10700 cpu and Intel I-225v lan. It is using igc kernel driver. The network works great after doing a `systemctl restart networking.service`.

ip link shows the network enp4s0 and vmbr0 as down.
systemctl status networking.service shows no error. Active says "active (exited". status=0/success.
dmesg | grep -I igc shows no error

This is a brand new install using the Proxmox 6.2 iso installer. I have changed nothing.

Since restarting network.service brings it online I have to believe it's something simple.

Thanks!

Please upgrade to the current version and install ifupdown2 then reboot

apt-get upgrade shows nothing to do
apt-get disc-upgrade shows nothing to do
apt-get install ifupdown2 gives me a warning after I tell it to go ahead and install and says that I am attempting to remove meta-package proxmox-ve and it quits.

Still not working. Still works after doing a systemctl restart networking.service

please since the boot PVE do journalctl -b > /tmp/journalctl.log and send the log as attach

Here it is.

I wonder if this line has something to do with it:

Could not generate persistent MAC address for vmbr0: No such file or directory

I tried manually assigning a Mac address to the bridge. Didn't help. I tried changing the macAddressPolicy from Persistent to None and that didn't help.

ok I got that working by having adding bridge_wait 10 to /etc/network/interfaces. I guess it was just not giving it quite enough time. Now the host has network when it boots but my clients do not. Shouldn't it create a routing rule when my vm starts up to route traffic through the bridge?
