Hello everyone,

I got a weird issue, I just want to create an empty bridge and then I receive this error:

1665297614715.png

Which is really weird, thats how my current GUI Settings is looking:

1665297639188.png

and that is my /etc/network/interfaces:

Code:
# network interface settings; autogenerated
# Please do NOT modify this file directly, unless you know what
# you're doing.
#
# If you want to manage parts of the network configuration manually,
# please utilize the 'source' or 'source-directory' directives to do
# so.
# PVE will preserve these directives, but will NOT read its network
# configuration from sourced files, so do not attempt to move any of
# the PVE managed interfaces into external files!

Can anybody tell me why this error is plopping up? :)
 
you have commented your OVs vmbr0 bridge, to replace it with linux bridge vmbr0, right ?

So, you need to also remove

"
ovs_type OVSPort
ovs_bridge vmbr0
"

from your physical interfaces, and also replace "allow-vmbr0" by "auto"
