I have proxmox version 7.1.8. I'm having a problem with the proxmox host ie debian. I have created a subnet within Proxmox. this subnet is 10.10.10.0/24. and it is connected to the main network as a bridge. When I enter the service networking restart command on Debian, the subnet is completely gone. In order for it to come back, I need to mark the firewall of the ethernet card from the hardware part of the machine, save it and remove it again. and I need to do this for all machines. Why is the subnet being cut off and manual action required?
 
you are not supposed to ever restart the 'networking' service - it will always disconnect bridges, interrupt connections, etc.pp.. PVE 7.x uses ifupdown2 which supports hot-reloading, use that to reconfigure your network at run-time.

Can you send me the restart command? because there is no direct ifupdown2 command. I will reload the config file without network down can you tell me the command directly?
 
ifreload - but it's exposed on the PVE GUI, so I'd use that ;)

so I guess I should use ifreload -c in this case. but this command ends with error as below. What could be the reason? The place specified as xx is my gateway ip address.

Code:
warning: netlink: enp4s0: cannot delete address xxx.xxx.xxx.xx/32 dev enp4s0: operation failed with 'Cannot assign requested address' (99)
 
can't tell you that without more information about your system

What details do you want I can send you?

I am running in debug mode by entering ifreload -c -d. I got something like the following. Why is it trying to change my main IP address to my gateway IP address?


Code:
info: enp4s0: primary ip changed (from main-ip/26 to gateway-ip/32) we need to purge all ip addresses and re-add them
 
information like how your current network setup looks like (links, addresses, routes mainly -> how it looks like at the moment), and what the config file contains (-> which config you want to switch to)
