You may need to configure the NICs in order to get them up. What do you want to do with the cards?
I would like to configure at least one to have access to the proxmox GUI.
How do I activate them?
Thanks

Make sure the configuration in the file /etc/network/interfaces uses the (possibly new) network device names (as shown in
ip a).Several network configuration choices are documented in the manual: https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/pve-admin-guide.html#sysadmin_network_configuration
the problem is that the network card is seen down, the host file is configured well.
@lnxbin told me that I have to activate them I would like to know the command to activate them
thanks

Okay, I could not determine this from the information presented. I do notice that they are Broadcom devices. Have you checked whether there are Linux drivers for those devices in the current Proxmox/Linux kernel version (maybe show
lspci -nnk output)? There have been threads in the past with problems with Broadcom network devices. I'm sorry that I cannot provide any concrete help beyond this.
I don't know as I have no experience with those devices and I was hoping you would find out.
Looking at the
lspci output (which would be more readable as text within CODE-tag), I see the line Kernel modules: bnxt_en which indicates that there is a kernel module/driver for them. However, there are no lines with Kernel driver in use: , which indicates that the driver is not used or loaded for those devices. Did you or Proxmox or Linux blacklist the driver? Maybe this is a clue (as the devices won't work without a driver in use) for you to investigate further?
As far as I know, that should work automatically on Linux. Something is interfering with this. I assume that this is not Proxmox specific and other Linux guides and troubleshooting will apply. Maybe the devices are too new and the driver does not recognize them. In that case, you could try a newer kernel version: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/o...e-8-available-on-test-no-subscription.164497/
I cannot hold your hand as I don't have experience with your devices or HP or Broadcom in general.
too bad the server is isolated.
I can't perform updates, I only access it from the terminal. I ordered the same model configured previously, I hope it arrives soon, so I don't have to change the compatible

Using network devices that are known to work well with Linux (in contrast to Broadcom) is indeed a good way to go.
I would assume as long as the devices are showing up, the drivers are loaded and working. Missing firmware blobs normally don't lead to a device name.
As said by @leesteken, please post in CODE tags:
As said by @leesteken, please post in CODE tags:
- Please post the contents of /etc/network/interfaces and possibly /etc/network/interfaces.d/*
- Try bringing them on with ip link set dev <device name> up
