Creating a second bridge for NAT networking

[Alejandro Lengua Vega]

Hello,
I created a second bridge (as you can see in the attached pictures)
with the purpose of using it linking VMs that will be using NAT
to access Internet, but I don't know what to do next.

I am also attaching a screenshot of interfaces file located in the folder /etc/network
of my Proxmox server.

I will appreciate any suggestion. Thank you in advance!

That's all and it should work.

Note:
- changes of network configuration by WEB-GUI are made in /etc/network/interfaces.new
- changes go into effect when making the next reboot (/etc/netwwork/interfaces.new is copied to /etc/network/interfaces)

If you want to avoid a reboot (not recommended, at your own risk) you can make the configuration temporarily by running "ip", "ifconfig" and/or "brctl" commands.

I have a doubt, how do I give internet access to the VMs using the second bridge?
(vmbr1 in my example).
Note that vmbr0 is linked to public IPs

the usual - either via NAT or via explicit routing (this is mostly unrelated to PVE and/or bridges though )

hai, I'm also trying to create a new bridge on proxmox
and want to use eth4 for the ports. but still cant ping to the gateway. is there any sugestion?

you have the same network configured twice 10.101.10.0/27 (vmbr1 and vmbr3) - this leads to quite inconsistent behaviour - it depends on the order of the interfaces going up, which one gets the route (unless you manually create separate routing tables, which imho is something you shouldn't do unless you know that you need it) - and on vmbr1 you have no interface added.

you can see your current routing table by:
`ip r`
and the route to a given ip by `ip r g $ip` (e.g. `ip r g 10.101.10.1`)
hope that helps
