don't we need to reboot servers when adding VLANS bridges to the interface file?

updated my servers like a month ago i think i now needed to add more vlan bridges to my proxmox servers interface file.. normally when i go to the node to check network it would say it would need to to reboot due to changes.. but now the bridges appear out of no where and there is no request to reboot.. ??

don't we need to do this anymore?

THANKS

Hi,

if you edit manually /etc/network/interfaces, yes , you can.

just do an "ifup vmbX" after editing the configuration file.



(if you use the proxmox gui, you need to reboot)

Damnit. All this time Ive been using brctl/vconfig to manually hot-add bridges

Hi spirit,

But here is the thing.. after i added the bridges to the interface file they all appeared in my gui and with no alert about needing to reboot.. and this WITHOUT doing the "ifup vmbr5"

Does this mean its working? or do i have to do the "ifup vmbrXX" no matter what?

just to add my experince..

using ifup vmbrX didn't work for me.. i had to do service networking restart before it worked .. I will consider this thread solved
