Like the title, i cannot access the web gui with the given (https ip 8006) to gain the password to login in the command prompt. i am booting from a bootable usb with balena. i tried it on all 3 different web browser in the same network but failed. During the installation process, i am required to type in ip,subnet,gateway and dns.
How and where do i know the correct ip,subnet,gateway and dns to type in the server? Maybe i typed in the wrong info?
Am i approaching this wrongly? should i config my dell server first? if yes, what must i do in the dell server besides firmware.
please, i have been trying to install for past couple of days and its slowly eating me.
 
Hi,

Can you ping 8.8.8.8 from you Proxmox VE Server?

How and where do i know the correct ip,subnet,gateway and dns to type in the server?

these are in your network by default proxmox will get ip address by DHCP but you can give a static ip.

Please post output of the following commands:

Code:
ip a

cat /etc/network/interfaces
 
can you ping your gateway at 10.0.0.1 ?

are you using a router/switch/firewall? maybe you need to allow the MAC address of the server or something

it depends on your network setup. if you don't know this information ask your system administrator for help...

no, i cant ping at 10.0.0.1.
is that the correct IP for the gateway?

if you cannot reach your gateway then your routing will not work. what is the output of ip r ?
