I'd like to configure proxmox with a pfsense vm as a firewall. How do I access the web gui for proxmox in this situation?

I have modem sending ethernet to port #1 (WAN) of a 4 port nic on my Dell 7020, but since I have no access to the proxmox web gui I cant create a virtual LAN port and assign to port #2. I see local IP address assigned to proxmox (192.168.1.117) but unsure on how to access it.
 
Generally:
  1. Add monitor & keyboard to your server
  2. Configure a second interface in /etc/network/interfaces
  3. Connect the server with a cable on that interface to another computer #2
  4. (Temporarily) Configure computer #2 to the same network
  5. Then you should be able to access the web interface of PVE from computer #2

For more details, please post the output of
Code:
ip -c a
and
Code:
cat /etc/network/interfaces

Thanks, thats exactly what I need to do. Where can I find a tutorial or the commands to configure the second interface? I'm still learning how to go about this...
