Replacing a usb network dongle with onboard

[Bishop27]

Good Afternoon,
Currently I'm using a usb network dongle on my Pve and would like to switch to the onboard nic and remove the dongle completely and wanted to know the steps on achieving this task. Thanks in advance. Afterwards, I know that I would need to get to every VM and LXC and change to the new nic.

You just need to adjust the bridge port of your bridge in /etc/network/interfaces, replace the interface with your new NIC, and then run

sudo ifreload -a

You can see all available links with

ip link show

Ok, So I connected the cable to the onboard nic, then ifup enp2s0 and now I need to edit the following:
auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
address 192.168.227.150/24
gateway 192.168.227.1
**bridge-ports enxa0cec89de7ba** to say bridge-ports enp2so
bridge-stp off
bridge-fd 0

Then reboot the system?

sudo ifreload -a

should be enough
