how to configure static ip in Proxmox VM

[manues50]

Hello

I have a Proxmox installed server and I have internet in that with the network device eno1 and I can see Linux Bride with name vmbr0

I have created a VM now I don't have internet in that
How can I get internet in my VMs form base machine?

 

[oguz]

you need to configure it from inside the VM after assigning it to the bridge vmbr0

 

[manues50]

Hello

Thank you for the update

How can I assign VM to bridge vmbr0 ?
Do you have any sample configuration?

 

[oguz]

you need to assign it while creating the vm on the proxmox gui.

in the config file /etc/pve/qemu-server/VMID.conf, it looks like this for example:

net0: virtio=AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF,bridge=vmbr0,firewall=1

bridge=vmbr0 is the important part

after that just do the network config based on the distribution for example in /etc/network/interfaces or similar

Hello

It is almost same in the /etc/pve/qemu-server/VMID.conf

net0: virtio=C6:998:2B:7D:ED,bridge=vmbr0,firewall=1

And I have configured /etc/network/interfaces as below

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
address [public ip]
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway [gw ip]
bridge_ports eno1
bridge_stp off
bridge_fd 0

Any suggestion may be appreciated

 

[oguz]

i meant the /etc/network/interfaces inside the VM

that should just be a regular one without bridge


for static ip:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
   address [VM IP]
   netmask [netmask]
   gateway [GW IP]

Note: Just one side-note after 4 years later; depending on the (Linux) OS/distro you are installing eg. Ubuntu Server, doesn't use /etc/network/interfaces. If you are using Ubuntu Server LTS try to use "netplan" which is using /etc/netplan/. More info:
