Second NIC for VM/Guest Use Only

SOLVED: Second NIC for VM/Guest Use Only

Hello!
I would like to add a second NIC to my Proxmox VE server for one of my Guest VMs. I do not need to be able to access the Proxmox UI via this NIC. This adapter should be directly used by the guest. How can I do this? I have seen other threads, but none of them specifically mentioned directly connecting a VM's NIC and this physical NIC.


Thanks!
Ross

Simply create a new bridge and attach the new nic. Then use the new bridge for the VM.

Wow, that's a lot simpler than I thought.
Thanks!
