Simple Network Question

[andybrunner]

I am struggling since days setting up a very simple network for a new PVE:

• 1 NIC
• 5 Public IP Addresses

I want to use the first IP address (vmbr0) only for the PVE and the other four are by the VMs. These IP addresses will then be set in the network settings of the individual VMs. Result:

• The PVE on vmbr0 works fine
• The VMs do not get an Internet connection, the ping from to the gateway times out

What am I missing?

Hey,

you don't need a bridge for every IP, just attach the bridge to the VMs. Then set the IPs in the VMs. Just make sure they are on the same subnet.

So much simpler! Works fine.

Thanks a lot.
