NIC Stopped Working, Workaround

[omitted]

I have a host with 2 onboard NICs which were bridged and working properly. Recently one of the ports has stopped working and is related to a defect in the port itself, nothing to do with Proxmox.

As they were in bridge mode and the port is no longer working, when I boot, there is no internet connection. Does anyone know how to use command line to remove the bridge mode and just use 1 NIC to get back online?

You can edit /etc/network/interfaces directly.

see 'man interfaces'

I was able to get to the file but am not sure what changes are needed to get it working. Any links to where I can read on what changes should be made?

I have tried reading the proxmox network model page.

Thanks

Again, please read the manual page

# man interfaces

I cannot find that page. Would you mind posting a link?

Thanks

I talk about a linux manual page. Simply login with ssh to your proxmox server, and type the command I posted above.
