Configure Network-Bridge

[astrakid]

Hi,
I have some problems configuring my VMs to access them from my internal LAN.
my network: 192.168.9.0
my router and dhcp-server: 192.168.9.2
my server hosting VMs (proxmox): 192.168.9.1

in proxmox i have configured eth0 with 192.168.9.1, gateway 192.168.9.2, vmbr0 with ip 192.168.9.20. both are active.

after setting up a new VM i configured its network to be in bridged mode. via console i configured /etc/network/interfaces to:
auto eth0
address 192.168.9.21
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.9.2
dns-nameservers 192.168.9.2

when booting this vm, it receives an ip address 192.168.9.103. but i am not able to access the server from any pc on my network (only via console of proxmox).

can some one give me a hint? why is dhcp obviously active on this vm? what do i have to configure to be able to access my vm from any pc on my local network?

kind regards,
astrakid

Hi !

Why you set eth0 with 192.168.9.1 (Proxmox IP) *and* a vmbr with IP (192.168.9.20) ?
If you use eth0 for Proxmox, can use vmbr linked to eth1 without IP or a unique vmbr0 linked to eth0 with a single IP.

I suppose an error in network configuration on (Unix) VM

i understand:
configure server eth0 with 192.168.9.1 and link vmbr to eth1 or
link vmbr0 to eth0 with eth0's ip 192.168.9.1, vmbr0 without ip-address?

will try it...

ETH0 -> IP (console)
ETH1 -> VMBR0 (without IP)

OR

ETH0 -> VMBR0 (with IP)

OR

ETH0 && ETH1 -> BOND0 (set as fault tollerance, for example)
BOND0 -> VMBR0 (with IP)

hi,
it is not working...
this is my network-config (proxmox-server):

# network interface settingsauto lo
iface lo inet loopback


auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet manual
bridge_ports eth1
bridge_stp off
bridge_fd 0


auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static

but ifconfig shows:

my vm gets 192.168.9.21, but is not reachable (neither from the proxmox-server, nor from other pcs inside my lan).

what is wrong?

edit: question regarding "ETH0 -> VMBR0 (with IP)": in this case either eth0 or vmbr0 gets an ip-address, or both? in case that only vmbr0 gets an ip-address, i won't be able to access my proxmox-management-gui, right?

hi,

this is my network-config (proxmox-server):



but ifconfig shows:

I think the VM network configuration.
Proxmox can use the net ? (apt-get update works ?)
Try to set a static configuration on VM

Bridging itself Works, but then the physical Server is Not reachable anymore...?

hi,
i got it working.
i followed another tutorial from the web, and that was quite straight forward. my problem was, that bridging worked, but then i couldn't access my proxmox-physical-server anmore by network. the vm was accessible.
the tutorial helped me:
eth0 is not configured, only the bridge:

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
address 192.168.9.1
broadcast 192.168.9.255
gateway 192.168.9.2
bridge_ports eth0
bridge_stp off
bridge_fd 9
bridge_hello 2
bridge_maxage 12

that works fine!

andre
