Using a Dell 1950 with two extra quad ethernet ports the default proxmox 2.1 installation assigns eth0/vmbr0 to a non board ethernet port (other than GB1). The installation also showed the following symptoms:
- Assign ethernet numbers randomly and non sequesntial. For example instead of assigning eth1-eth2,th3,eth4,eth5 it assigns eth1,eth2,eth3,eth5 (skips eth4, etc).
- The installation also ignored three ethernet ports which I manually checked but again out of sequence eth11,eth12,eth13.
I tried to manually add the three missing ethernet ports to /etc/network/interfaces by adding:
iface eth11 inet manual
iface eth12 inet manual
iface eth13 inet manual
However I cannot access and configure the ethernet ports through the web interface. I also noticed that
the changes using the web interface are saved in interfaces.new for the next reboot.
So to enable the three interfaces do I edit /etc/network/interfaces or interfaces.new or am i missing something that is internal to roxmox. Please advise.
