I everyone! I'm looking for some help about moving my proxmox VE management interface (from my 10gb nic) to a new interface (1gb nic). Currently my management interface is using the interface I use for VMS, container, etc... and use a specific VLAN (VLAN6). My 10gb nic is connected to my switch (trunk port) since I use different VLANs on the same 10gb nic. My gateway is my pfsense that is on a dedicated hardware.

Here's my current network config in proxmox:
Code:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto ens1f0
iface ens1f0 inet manual
        mtu 9000
#10G

iface enp4s0f2np2 inet manual

auto eno1
iface eno1 inet manual
#1G

auto ens1f1
iface ens1f1 inet manual
        mtu 9000
#10G

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet manual
        bridge-ports ens1f0
        bridge-stp off
        bridge-fd 0
        bridge-vlan-aware yes
        bridge-vids 2-4094

auto vmbr0.6
iface vmbr0.6 inet static
        address 192.168.6.4/24
        gateway 192.168.6.1

source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*

My goal is to keep the same IP/gateway (currently configured vmbr0.6) but using the eno1 interface so I can manage my proxmox server on the eno1 interface and have 10gb interface (ens1f0) dedicated to my VMs, containers, etc...

I've tried to create a linux bridge vmbr1 with the same IPs but everytime I apply the config I loose access to the web console and I have to revert to my previous settings to get back access. Here's the "new" config I'm trying but is not working:
Code:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto ens1f0
iface ens1f0 inet manual
        mtu 9000
#10G

iface enp4s0f2np2 inet manual

auto eno1
iface eno1 inet manual
#1G

auto ens1f1
iface ens1f1 inet manual
        mtu 9000
#10G

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet manual
        bridge-ports ens1f0
        bridge-stp off
        bridge-fd 0
        bridge-vlan-aware yes
        bridge-vids 2-4094

auto vmbr1
iface vmbr1 inet manual
        bridge-ports eno1
        bridge-stp off
        bridge-fd 0
        bridge-vlan-aware yes
        bridge-vids 2-4094


auto vmbr1.6
iface vmbr1.6 inet static
        address 192.168.6.4/24
        gateway 192.168.6.1

source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*

Note that my 1gb nic (eno1) is connected directly to my switch with port tagged to VLAN6

Any help/insight would be appreciated.

Thank in advance for your help!
