I have good Linux background, just new to Proxmomx.

I installed a NIC 4ports card, everything look fine, but they are not working when I plug in the cable. Please help me.

They just showed as down when I run "ip -br -c link show":

lo UNKNOWN 00:00:00:00:00:00 <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP>

cat /etc/network/interfaces shows:
