I have a
Intel(R) 2P X520/2P I350 rNDC​
I updated the firmware to the latest with the lifecycle controller since i was getting weird speedtests from all of my vms. The issue continued even with new firmware and now it wont connect at all. I have tried every eno adapter plugged into the vmbr0. All of the nic lights are flashing but not as if they are getting network connection. They are all plugged into the same switch with untagged vlans. The switch runs my desktop just fine. Not sure whats going on. I have bought another nic that should be here this week since i started thinking this nic went faulty. But it does have lights on just cant establish a connection. What else should i try in the settings to get this to work. The idrac connects just fine to the switch also and i get into management and see the virtual console.
 
can the host ping itself and the gateway? can you access the proxmox host from your desktop on the same lan?

the default route doesn't look right... I'd expect that to look like this from the config you posted earlier?
192.168.254.254/24 dev vmbr0 proto kernel onlink

It can ping the gateway which is at 192.168.254.254 but for some reason it looks like 192.168.254.0 on the route. Not sure how to change or adjust that.
weird okay now its seeming like its connecting to host now on the same lan. Not sure what changed. But on any other interface i have no connection even while on the same lan. Also only hitting 650mbps on vmbr0 and i am getting over 900 on my desktop on the same lan.
 
Hi,

from the ip r output it looks like you are missing a default route.

Try setting it by hand
Code:
ip route add default via 192.168.254.254
