Moving PVE host from one NIC to another.

I'm new here and just migrated my home XenServer VMs to Proxmox. I have two Ethernet adapters in my server. After initial install and playing for a week, I decided to move my PVE to different adapter. Currently, it looks like only one of the NICs has IP address configured and second one did not receive DHCP lease. How do I activate second NIC and move my PVE management to this NIC.

Thank you,
 
I'm trying to move from enp3s0 which is Realtek card to en01 which is Intel onboard . Thanks


auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

iface enp3s0 inet manual

auto eno1
iface eno1 inet manual

iface enp4s0f0 inet manual

iface enp4s0f1 inet manual

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
address 192.168.2.90/24
gateway 192.168.2.1
bridge-ports enp3s0
bridge-stp off
bridge-fd 0
 
The first step would be to bridge eno1 instead of enp3s0, which is the third last line in your config. Just rewrite the line and reboot.

auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto enp3s0 iface enp3s0 inet manual iface eno1 inet manual iface enp4s0f0 inet manual iface enp4s0f1 inet manual auto vmbr0 iface vmbr0 inet static address 192.168.2.90/24 gateway 192.168.2.1 bridge-ports eno1 bridge-stp off bridge-fd 0
Then everything goes through the Intel NIC. Do you want to separate the traffic somehow afterwards or is this enough?
