What are these interfaces and how to disable them or change MAC - fwbr102i1 / fwln102i1 ?
 
hi,

since your hoster does not allow the MAC addresses of your VMs you can use routed setup [0].

that way only the PVE's MAC address will be seen by the switch

[0]: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Network_Configuration#_routed_configuration


i use this

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eno3
iface eno3 inet manual

iface eno1 inet manual

iface eno2 inet manual

iface eno4 inet manual

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
address 116.2xx.2xxx.2
netmask 255.255.255.128
gateway 116.2xx.2xx.1
bridge-ports eno3
bridge-stp off
bridge-fd 0

auto vmbr1
iface vmbr1 inet static
address 192.168.0.1
netmask 24
bridge-ports none
bridge-stp off
bridge-fd 0
post-up echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
post-up iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s '192.168.0.0/24' -o vmbr0 -j MASQUERADE
post-down iptables -t nat -D POSTROUTING -s '192.168.0.0/24' -o vmbr0 -j MASQUERAD


but somehow it still glows MAC


on my local VPS no mac be:60:85:ed:5d:66

I think you need to put your public IP on directly on eno3 and update your ip-tables nat config to use eno3 instead of vmbr0

or ask your hoster to allow 1 additional mac-address for vmbr0 - might be the easiest way

After restart MAC - be:60:85:ed:5d:66 will always change

I fought with support, they said they would figure it out myself. They refused to add mac to the white list.

There are two solutions.

1. Reconfigure the network and make only one bridge (directly on eno3).

2. Block outgoing port 43.

Many thanks to everyone for the help!!!! ;)
