Host and VM Access to 2nd NIC

Still learning here....

I have four NICs each connected to a different network - connected to a UniFi Switch (vlans configured via UniFi switch).

I am confused on how to define the bridges to allow DHCP for each NIC and also allow the PVE host to access them.

My current Network Setup is attached....

Am I setting up the IP Addresses correctly ? Using this, UniFi is showing the Data IP Address as being allocated as 192.168.10.0 (DHCP is working correctly for everything else). The other non-management NICs are not even getting an IP Address from DHCP.

Things aren't working and I am trying to rule out incorrect PVE configuration first :-(

Solved - it was my lack of knowledge (added 1 learning point for today). The IP shouldn't be added as .0/24 but an actual IP address. The host then communicates over this IP. Any VMs routed through the bridge will then get allocated an IP - so each VM has a unique IP Address.

At least that is what I think; please correct me if this is wrong.
