[SOLVED] SoYouStart & Failover IPs

[citrix]

Hi Proxmox Forum Users,

Looking for some guidance if possible, I've done various searches on google/ovh docs but still hitting a bit of a brick wall.

where I cam so far:

using Proxmox VE 6.1-5
I have 4 Failover IPS
I've created a MAC address for one of the address's I'm wishing to use and have added this mac address to the network adapter of the VM in proxmox.
I've then logged into the VM and checked my network devices. ip link show - i have lo and ens18
I've then logged into the VM (Debian 10) and edited the /etc/network/interfaces
I've used the following config (recomended in: )

auto lo eth0
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet static
address FAILOVER_IP
netmask 255.255.255.255
broadcast FAILOVER_IP
post-up route add GATEWAY_IP dev eth0
post-up route add default gw GATEWAY_IP
pre-down route del GATEWAY_IP dev eth0
pre-down route del default gw GATEWAY_IP


eth0 = I've replaced with ens18
FAILOVER_IP = the failover ip associated to the mac address i created
GATEWAY_IP = the main ip of the server replacing the end with .254

at the moment I just get failed to start Raise network interfaces and can't bring up ens18

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

just to give an update, I believe I have now resolved the issue with the help from members at lowendtalk

I used the following config:

auto ens18
iface ens18 inet static
address FAILOVER_IP
netmask 255.255.255.255
gateway GATEWAY_IP
pointopoint GATEWAY_IP
dns-nameservers 1.1.1.1 1.0.0.1

I then had an issue where i could ssh into the box and ping ips etc but couldn't resolve DNS, this was because of resolv.conf missing
