network:

renderer: networkd
ethernets:
ens18:
addresses: [FAILOVER_IP/32]

hey guys I resolve it ,

Thanks

Code:
network:
  version: 2
  renderer: networkd
  ethernets:
    ens18:
      dhcp4: no
      dhcp6: no
      addresses:
          - FAILOVER_IP/32
      gateway4: TREE_PROXMOX_FIRST_octet.254
      optional: true
      routes:
         - to: TREE_PROXMOX_FIRST_octet.254/32
           via: 0.0.0.0
           scope: link

TREE_PROXMOX_FIRST_octet :  for example if your Proxmox ip  100.125.26.11
the gateway4 will be  100.125.26.254

Hi , could you copy/paste your host network configuration ? because it's not working on mine :-(
thank you
 
@haricot
this config is the same in my server, it's a yaml file, pay attention to the spaces between the lines and the properites.

( you can use YAML Validator)

Could you please share the error msg ?
