Out of box promox 7 install, can not access external network in vm imported from hyper-v

[hessian]

I have linux (debian) hyper-v that i imported. i can get to a console, login, and etc in proxmox, but it doesn't have any external network. in hyper-v it was configured to use a virtual switch and the vm would use the dhcp on my local network to get an ip and all that. can i do something similar in proxmox? on the vm, i can see that it has a network interface named `ens18`, and i set the link to up and it appears to get an ipv6 address, but i still can't ping anything. I think I am lacking approriate terminolgy in linux speak to understand what the different concepts are explaining in the documentation.

thanks in advance,
kind regards

got it working, not sure what i did. might have been the static ip reservation's hostname i had to change in my router to match my new hostname for the machine i repurposed. could have been the config on the vm in /etc/network/interfaces, name changed from eth0 to ens18.
