Only 1 of 2 NIC Ports Available / Showing

[Rousie]

Hi All,

Firstly, i am very new to Proxmox, i've ran a few little bits here and there, but now onto my second build, primarily to run OPNsense to see if i like it or not.

So, i've done a fresh install of Proxmox, but my issue is that i can only see 1 of the 2 NIC ports which are on this Dual PCI-E Card.

It's intel based, so should have no issues with compatibility, but feel like i have compltley overlooked something.

While checking around the forum, i've seen people ask for "ip addr" to be checked, which if this helps, you can find below.

1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
    inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 ::1/128 scope host
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
2: enp2s0f0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP group default qlen 1000
    link/ether a0:36:9f:a0:28:88 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 192.168.1.12/24 scope global enp2s0f0
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 fe80::a236:9fff:fea0:2888/64 scope link
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
3: enp3s0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast master vmbr0 state DOWN group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 2c:4d:54:eb:4f:6e brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
4: enp2s0f1: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state DOWN group default qlen 1000
    link/ether a0:36:9f:a0:28:89 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 192.168.1.13/24 scope global enp2s0f1
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 fe80::a236:9fff:fea0:2889/64 scope link
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
5: vmbr0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state DOWN group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 2c:4d:54:eb:4f:6e brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 192.168.1.249/24 scope global vmbr0
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 fe80::2e4d:54ff:feeb:4f6e/64 scope link
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

enp2s0f0 is the one which seems to be working and can see it OK, but enp2s0f1: which i think is the second port on the card is not showing or working at all

I *Think* 3: enp3s0: is the Realtek Onboard LAN, which seems to have a bridge or something to vmbr0: as this is the IP address of the Proxmox instance I'm connecting to .

If anyone would be able to help me, it would be greatly appreciated, as when i try to assign the ports and IP addresses in OPNsense, it can only see 1 x Realtek and 1 x Intel, and i would like to use both Intel Ports.

Thank you in advance.

Where is that NIC missing? Juat in OPNsense? Because PVE can see it with ip addr.
How do you get those NICs into the VM?
In case you used PCI passthrough, make sure not to check the "all functions" checkbox in case you added both NIC ports (=functions) to that VM.

Hi Dunuin, thank you for your reply!

Yes, the NIC was missing in the list inside OPNsense...

As for how i "got them in" both the Realtek and the Intel were already in the network devices list, but if i added another one, it looked to just create a copy of the one already there, as even after reboot, it was still not presenting itself inside OPNSense.

I've not seen the "All functions" Checkbox, so can only assume i've not done things right - could you point me to a guide or help?

Can you show the output of cat /etc/network/interfaces? Vmbr0, enp2s0f0, and enp2s0f1 all have ip addresses in the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet.

In addition to what vesalius asked for, please also provide the VM-config (qm config YourVMID) for the OPNsense-VM.
