Configure IP range on PVE 6

[jtvdw]

Hi,

I have question on configuring a public IP range on PVE 6, please see below :

Range : 123.45.67.89/29

I have 3 available IP's to use on the subnet, how will I be able to make use of them within the webgui and assign them to running VM / Containers.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

hi,

you will probably need to use a bridged or routed setup [0]

on the GUI go to Node -> System -> Network and you should be able to create/edit interfaces and network settings of the node

Hi,

Thanks for the reply, I followed that but doesn't look like it's correct, please see below:



and



What should I add where?

Thanks.

what kind of setup are you trying to accomplish?

 

[jtvdw]

As mentioned, I have a public ip range of 1123.45.67.89/29 and have about 3 ip available to make us of, so I want to assign 123.45.67.91 to a vm, 123.45.67.92 to a vm and 123.45.67.93 to a vm?

How will I be able to do that with the link send to configure or setup the network?

well it depends on how you want to do it, but for example you can create a bridge for each IP you have and choose the appropriate bridge when creating a VM/CT (this is probably the simplest method)

otherwise for example you can take a look at this forum thread [0] , where the user has a similar setup idea. it can be done with ifupdown2 and assign multiple ranges on a bridge, but this is not in the GUI yet.

hope this helps

Hi,

So I followed the link but skrewed up the server, ooops!

What should I add and how should I add the available IP, please see below :



and



I've also added this lines (in bold) and I think I broke it, had to revert back :

auto eno1
iface eno1 inet static
address 198.51.100.5
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 198.51.100.1
post-up echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
post-up echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/eno1/proxy_arp

Please let me know if you need more details from my side.

Thanks.

I've been trying to accomplish the same and failed measurably for the past couple of months.
I managed to have this working for windows vms (go figure) but linux based systems for some reason are not working :/
did u find a solution?

Hi,

Okay, I'm still struggling with the Linux containers, got the bridge setup and working but when the container boot up, the container still not gets a IP. Added it manually but still not working.

What have you done to fix the windows container?

Thanks.

At the host level I have the following:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto enp196s0
iface enp196s0 inet static
        address xxx.yyy.zzz.122/26
        gateway xxx.yyy.zzz.65
        post-up echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
        post-up echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/enp196s0/proxy_arp

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
        address xxy.yyx.zzx.32/27
        bridge_ports none
        bridge_fd 0
        bridge-stp off

Then the on the windows VM network settings I have:


Firewall as to be off here and for some reason, if I don't use the Intel E1000 instead of the virtio it doesn't work...

Finally inside the windows it self I have this:




I hope this works for you.
Since I've been at this with zero success for months no I've tried to contact 7 different partners from the proxmox website asking for quotes and got 0 answers I'm seriously considering in abandoning this and using SolusVM instead as it is much easier to setup and there's a TON of support around which proxmox seems to lack greatly even if want to pay for it....

Anyway, so far, massive disappointment from my side but good luck and hope u manage ur setup.
