Hello there,
I initially setup my ProxMox via an onboard ethernet port eno1. I created a vmbr0 to setup a vm for pfsense 192.168.1.1. I created a secondary vmbr1 to build my vms off of (ie TrueNas), and hopefully to manage my ProxMox host when I unplug eno1.
I have a PCI-e nic that has 2x 2.5gb ports and have passed them both directly to PFsense. My Cable Modem goes to 1 port(WAN) and my LAN port goes to an unmanaged switch.
In PFsense I have these 2 ethernet ports and the vmbr1 linux bridge.
Currently eno1 is plugged into my unmanaged switch, and everything works perfectly. But as soon as I unplug eno1, or in the host console execute: ifdown eno1; I can no longer reach the host via my local desktop on( 192.168.2.35:8006 or 192.168.1.35:8006). I do not expect to reach 192.168.1.35:8006, but I do expect to reach 192.168.2.35:8006. I cannot ping either IP with from my local desktop when eno1 is unplugged/down.
However, I am able to connect to pfsense(192.168.1.1) and TrueNas(192.168.2.11) from my desktop, and I'm even able to ssh to 192.168.2.35 via TrueNas shell.
I've been struggling with this for the past couple of days, and any help would be much appreciated.
My goal is to unplug the cable from eno1 to the unmanaged switch, and only use it in an emergency; but to be able to still reach/manage the host via my desktop.
