I have a r710 server that is connect through LAN to my unify router. My server was working fine for a couple weeks then one day went offline, looking at my unifi network I saw that the server was offline. I have restarted them, tried different ports and cables (both were not the issue) but the server is not showing as online and is not connecting to the internet. I have tried to ping and obviously that didn’t work either. I then took my Hard drive out and put it in another sever.. this also wasn’t shown on the network. Then testing tvs and laptops they did show on the network. Has anyone seen this or have any ideas why the servers are not being seen on the network, I am running proxmox. (I have tried my Vlan and the default network so it’s not a firewall issue). I have changed my etc/network/interfaces and the hosts... the server has the correct default gateway. what am i missing? i know its not the NIC failing.

The following commands
in interfaces
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
iface enol inet manual
bridge-ports eno1
bridge-stp off
bridge-fd 0
iface eno2 inet manual
iface eno3 inet manual
iface eno4 inet manual
auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
address 192.168.2.121/24
gateway 192.168.2.1
bridge-ports none
bridge-stp off
bridge-fd 0
bridge-vlan-aware yes
bridge-vids 2-4094

iface enol inet manual
bridge-ports eno1

That should be "eno1" and not "enol". And that...
Code:
bridge-ports eno1
bridge-stp off
bridge-fd 0
...doesn't belong there. Thats your NIC, not a bridge.

iface vmbr0 inet static
address 192.168.2.121/24
gateway 192.168.2.1
bridge-ports none
bridge-stp off
bridge-fd 0
bridge-vlan-aware yes
bridge-vids 2-4094
And your actual bridge isn't connected to a NIC. "bridge-ports none" should be something like "bridge-ports eno1" or whatever NIC you want to use.

The etho1 was just a error on my end posting it, and on the last note should I just delete the?

bridge-ports none
bridge-stp off
bridge-fd 0
bridge-vlan-aware yes
bridge-vids 2-4094

Or just change to bridge-ports etho1? Is this the reason I’m having issues?

Thanks!
 
Your config should look something like this for untagged vlan:
Code:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

iface eno1 inet manual
iface eno2 inet manual
iface eno3 inet manual
iface eno4 inet manual

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
    address 192.168.2.121/24
    gateway 192.168.2.1
    bridge-ports eno1
    bridge-stp off
    bridge-fd 0
    bridge-vlan-aware yes
    bridge-vids 2-4094

Or something like this in case you want PVE to be in tagged VLAN 100:
Code:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

iface eno1 inet manual
iface eno2 inet manual
iface eno3 inet manual
iface eno4 inet manual

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet manual
    bridge-ports eno1
    bridge-stp off
    bridge-fd 0
    bridge-vlan-aware yes
    bridge-vids 2-4094

auto vmbr0.100
iface vmbr0.100 inet static
    address 192.168.2.121/24
    gateway 192.168.2.1

so i changed it to your first suggestion and then ifredload -a which returned

"error: netlink: etho1 enslave link etho1 to vmbro: operation failed with 'No such device' (19)
error: vmbr0: bridge port etho1 does not exist

You should really take more care what gets written.

Your NIC in question is named: eno1 and not: enol, nor: etho1.
Also is the bridge named: vmbr0 and not: vmbro.
