[SOLVED] secondary IP address missing wth virt io lan driver

[muekno]

I have migrated a debian 12 text only from ESXi 6.5 to PVE. LAN drive was vmxnet3. everything is fine
the server has two IP addresses primary 172.16.1.245 and a secondary 172.16.1.246. I need those two addresses.
then I changed to virtIO and the secondary address is gone, nothing changed in /etc/network/interfaces.
chnaging back to vmxnet3 and secondary IP address is, without changing anything other than the LAN Driver and reboot

that is not really acceptable

Maybe look in dmesg and the journal to see if there are any related messages. You could also maybe post what's in /etc/network/interfaces and the output of "ip a". Offhand I can't think of any reason why the physical net driver would have anything to do with it.
