/etc/network/interfaces not being read?

[JBB]

I'm installing a Proxmox 3.3 host machine which will later go onto another network. So, I need to be able to change its IP address.

I thought I could just put the new network config into /etc/network/interfaces. However, when I reboot, I can't get through to the management interface on the new IP. I have to use the old address.

Is there some other config I need to change as well?

It would help to see what your interfaces file looks like.

It's the default - I simply want to change the IP a a test - it's on the same subnet for the moment:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static

address 192.168.1.203​

netmask 255.255.255.0​

gateway 192.168.1.1
bridge_ports eth0
bridge_stp off
bridge_fd 0
​

Oh, wait, can I do it from the GUI? It looks like I can do it from the vmbr0 entry in the host's network tab.

eth0 is used but missing
yes gui can setup all net config

Odd that eth0 is missing. As far as I know I'd not altered anything other than the address line.

Anyway, now I know I can do it via the GUI, so that's OK.
