Are you 100% confident you have all syntax proper? For example a /29 subnet should be, 255.255.255.248, as your subnet mask I believe, yet in your text above you hide-out the last 3 digits, which really are not such secret and personal data anyhoo. (?)

Maybe just for giggles, reboot your proxmox host to live-CD temporarily, and wham in a 1-liner test to see if you can bring up the static IP / mask etc. that you think it is that you wish to assign, then try to ping another host on the local LAN etc (and vise-versa) ?

ie, quick google gives a sample syntax command might be for example; approximately:

ifconfig eth0 172.16.25.125 netmask 255.255.255.224 broadcast 172.16.25.63

If this fails to work then figure that out first ?

(not sure maybe I have entirely missed the point. But end-of-day, proxmox is running on stock debian under-the-hood as linux bare-metal distro; so there is nothing atypical regarding interface config tasks.)
