Hello -
Does PVE have a TUI to check network configs like VMW does? I can't connect to the Web UI after install (I'm new to PVE). I think the issue is I chose the wrong nic. I wanna switch my mgmt interface to my other one (I only have 2 10Gb nics connected) to test my theory. I don't wanna have to go through the install process again. Thanks!
 
Welcome, @coolsport00 !

Probably even better than that ;-).
Any general command line commands available in Linux.

Google for linux network troubleshooting.
Log in the PVE host with its keyboard.
Issue the commands you like.

For instance:
ip a
ip r
cat /etc/network/interfaces
ping 1.1.1.1
etc.
 
Hey @Onslow . Thanks for the response. Ok...so that would be a nah ;) Pitty tbh. I know Linux, but a TUI for hypervisors is convenient for general things like this. And, you can't change the nic PVE uses using Linux cmds. Thankfully, I figured out what my issue was, tho took wayyy longer than it should. VLAN setting on the switch port cuz..well...you can't configure a VLAN ID during install :/

Off to playing a bit with this. Thanks again.
