[SOLVED] New Proxmox VE Install - Ubuntu VM can't get IP address

[impulse0022]

First I'm new to Proxmox so I'm sure I'm missing something easy.

My /etc/network/interfaces is currently configured as:

# network interface settings; autogenerated
# Please do NOT modify this file directly, unless you know what
# you're doing.
#
# If you want to manage parts of the network configuration manually,
# please utilize the 'source' or 'source-directory' directives to do
# so.
# PVE will preserve these directives, but will NOT read its network
# configuration from sourced files, so do not attempt to move any of
# the PVE managed interfaces into external files!

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eno1
iface eno1 inet manual

auto eno2
iface eno2 inet manual

auto eno3
iface eno3 inet manual

auto eno4
iface eno4 inet manual

auto bond0
iface bond0 inet manual
        bond-slaves eno1 eno2 eno3 eno4
        bond-miimon 100
        bond-mode balance-rr

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
        address 192.168.7.200/24
        gateway 192.168.7.1
        bridge-ports bond0
        bridge-stp off
        bridge-fd 0
        bridge-vlan-aware yes
        bridge-vids 2-4094

I can access the Promox web interface using the above configuration but my Ubuntu VM can't get an IP address for some reason.

The Ubuntu VM is configured to use the vmbr0 bridge as the Network Device.

virtio=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX,bridge=vmbr0,firewall=1

If you could point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it!

Not sure why DHCP isn't working on my Ubuntu VM but if manually specify the IP address on my Ubuntu VM everything works as expected. I can get to the public internet, etc.

This fixes my issue. I just wasn't positive that my Proxmox network configuration was correct.
