Hello,
Very new to Proxmox and set up my first virtual machine running Windows Server. My intent is to have the VM environment exist in a 10.0.0.0/24 network with the Proxmox host sitting on my physical 192.168.1.0/24. I configured my UniFi Controller with a 10.0.0.0/24 network and did not define a DHCP server (looking to have the DNS/DHCP handle these duties inside the virtual environment.)
Using the Learn Linux TV videos, I created a Linux Bridge (vmbr0) to allow communication between the VM and Management (physical) networks. The issue is that I have not yet been able to establish a connection between the VM network (10.0.0.0/24) to the Internet. The Windows Server with a static IP of 10.0.0.2 cannot communicate out. I tried it with both a default gateway of 10.0.0.1 and leaving the default gateway blank. My interfaces file currently reads:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
iface eno1 inet manual
iface eth1 inet manual
auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
address 192.168.1.23/24
gateway 192.168.1.1
bridge-ports eno1
bridge-stp off
bridge-fd 0
#Management Network
auto vmbr1
iface vmbr1 inet static
address 10.0.0.0/24
bridge-ports eth1
bridge-stp off
bridge-fd 0
#VM Network
Everything was configured via the GUI and I left the default gateway field blank for the VM network as indicated by one of the videos I saw online. My Proxmox server has a single physical connection to the switch and both eno1 and eth1 are referenced. I also made sure the "VM Network" switch profile was applied to the UniFi switch port.
Finally, I connected a notebook to another port with the "VM Network" switch profile applied, manually configured the notebook with a 10.0.0.4 address, and was able to communicate out--just as a means of confirming communication outside of the virtual environment. This was probably unnecessary; however, I wanted to confirm nonetheless.
I welcome any guidance or direction to another post that can direct me to a solution.
Thank you,
Erik
