Dedicate NIC for Management Console/GUI

[abvh]

Considering Proxmox as an alternative (and budget saving) to VMWare for our company, but I am already getting pretty bummed out right after installation.

I want configure one NIC for access to console/gui on a private management network ONLY and the other NIC for the guest VMs to use as access to the public network.

Basically what I need to achieve is the following ;

NIC1 : Connected to Switch #1 which is for the management LAN.
IP : 192.168.1.254
SM : 255.255.255.0
GW : doesnt matter, its the management lan
Have all the management features (console, gui, etc) listen on THIS CARD OR IP ONLY.

NIC2 : Connected to Switch #2 which is for guest VMs
IP : 172.24.1.254
SM : 255.255.255.0
GW 172.24.1.1
Guest VMs will use IPs between 172.24.1.2 and 172.24.1.253
NO ACCESS TO MANAGEMENT FEATURES FROM THIS CARD OR SUBNET.

How ?

I can do this in 30 seconds with HyperV and VMWare.

I spent 3 hours trolling forums and googling and haven't got an answer for Proxmox. Something wrong with the picture here.

vmbr0 should be your management lan with an assigned ip
when you create vmbr1 with eth1 just assign no ip and you have what you want

AFAIK the webinterface listens on 0.0.0.0 - why just use iptables to forward the port to another server or simpliest block it?

Just edit /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/pve.conf:

Listen [COLOR=#333333]192.168.1.254[/COLOR]:8006
<VirtualHost *:8006>

Also SSH - edit /etc/ssh/sshd.config:

ListenAddress [COLOR=#333333]192.168.1.254[/COLOR]

Then restart apache and sshd:

service restart apache2
service restart sshd
