ESXI 6 to Proxmox No Networking

[rocketcoder]

Hi all,

I just migrated from ESXI 6 to Proxmox following https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Migration_of_servers_to_Proxmox_VE

However, it seems networking is handle a good deal differently than ESXI and I have no network connectivity from my guests. When I imported a Ubuntu VM there was no network device listed so I added one, but it is still not showing up inside the guest, even after a reboot. Where am I going wrong? If someone has a guide or video that explains the networking that would also be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for that. I think I stumbled across that before, but I don't see any thing there that helps. I would assume I have it in the bridged model. That does not explain why the network adapter is not showing up in the guest.

So I don't think this is an issue with Proxmox, because I got a Windows VM up and running with the Virtio drivers installed and it has internet. Upon further looking at ip addr in the Ubuntu 20.04 VM I don't see the network interface. Are there drivers that I need to get installed on the Ubuntu VM for it to recognize the Proxmox network?

No - Ubuntu works out of the box (as any other Linux based system).
