Hello

how to add more than 9 network interfaces ?

my virtual server "LXC" needs more than 9 IP addresses, in the GUI, I can only use up to "net9". Why ?

I added "net10" and "net11" manually in the config file of the virtual server (LXC). it works but I have this message (it is not blocking) :

pvedaemon[11913]: vm 201 - unable to parse value of 'net10' - unknown setting 'net10'
pvedaemon[11913]: vm 201 - unable to parse value of 'net11' - unknown setting 'net11'

I do not understand the usefulness of "net0-9" if only restricts a single network interface ... again we can not define these interfaces: "eth0:0, eth0:1, etc."

thanks for your help
 
Unfortunately you'll have to configure an interface manually (set to static and leave all fields empty).
As for the usefulness: it's a trade off between that and complexity. The current options do cover the most common use cases.
