how do i get the interfaces up

[Stylez]

i have installed proxmox on a new clean server but cant get to the GUI of my server after isnallation. i noticed that the interface was down but i cant seem to get it up with any of the linux commands i used.

As always when Proxmox cannot be reached: what is the output of ip a and what is the output of cat /etc/network/interfaces? A readable photograph will do.

Unfortunately, you did cat /network/interfaces instead of cat /etc/network/interfaces, so the first photo is useless. Please try again. Are you connected via SSH (or can copy text)?
The network device that is up (and probably connected to vmbr0) has no-carrier, which usually mean that there is no (working) cable connected.

Hi, the cable has been switched but still the same and i have attached the correct result for the command i missed

What is the output of ip a now?

As you can see, still NO-CARRIER. Looks like there is no (working) connection between your network device that is configured and anything else (like your router). Maybe the cable is bad, maybe the device is bad, maybe the driver is bad?

Thanks, i managed to find the issue and it was a faulty NIC. The lights on it lit up but after testing i did prove that the NIC is faulty.
