Proxmox on Dell R740xd lan/network configuration

[edo]

Hi, i'm new here.
First time installing proxmox. I installed proxmox on a Dell R740xd server. Installation is ok, the proxomox show me to use browser on its IP 195.135.12.201, but it doesn't work.
I used an IP scanner and i saw that the server is not available on the lan, but i can see idrac IP that's different: 195.135.12.28.
Any way i cannot reach the server with browser.
What did I wrong?
Thanks a lot
Best regard

Hi, Dell PowerEdge R760 user here.

Is 195.135.12.201 the address you entered when installing Proxmox VE? Or maybe the installer received it from a DHCP server on that network?

If that was the address, you should be able to ping your Proxmox VE server at that address. If you can't ping your server, there is some kind of networking problem unrelated to Proxmox VE.

If pinging the server works, it should be reachable via browser at https://195.135.12.201:8006 (don't forget the port number...). You will get a security error message from your browser, but that's fine until you install a certificate.

The iDrac address doesn't really have anything to do with how you connect to the server.

No, I put the Ip on my own. I'm not using dhcp server.
I can't ping the proxmox, there's no way to see it. I don't know what to do, if I've to set something inside the server Bios.

Weird. Maybe try logging into the console as root and check the output of

ip a

You should see something like

vmbr0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000
    link/ether ac:b4:80:xx:xx:xx brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 195.135.12.201/24 scope global vmbr0
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

Also check your routing with

ip route

and try pinging a host on that subnet.

I solved the problem and i suggest to do this before installing proxmox on R740xd Dell servers:
Find Idrac interface and open it with browser.
Go to system configuration, network, then wire another LAN port of the server with lan.
On idrac interface, you'll see the port in which the link is up.
Now, take the mac address of the port and then launch proxmox installation
When asked, select the lan port using mac address.
Wait installing and your server will work.
Thanks to everyone helped me.
