After upgrading from 6.4 with opt in kernel 5.11 to 7 and rebooting I cannot reach/ping/access webgui and ssh. Also I cannot ping inside the machine via VNC.
ifupdown2 wasn't installed and the network names were not renamed.
my vmbr0 has the external IP set.
I also tried disabling the firewall and restart networking but it didn't work :(

It is also not a dns problem as I cannot ping ip addresses outside the internal network in VNC.
I also cannot ping my proxmox server from outside with its external ip address.

I don't get it :(

pve-firewall status says enabled/stopped
 
omg I think I got it...
added hwaddress under the vmbr0 bridge with my physical mac address...
strangely it works with ifupdown 1 and 2 was not installed

is that all or do I have todo some other additional config?

That's expected, it should work with either ifupdown.

If all is working again for you then that should be enough.

For me, that does not helped me. I'm happy that i can access my machine now cause i commented everything in /etc/network/interfaces and add the public ip at my networkadapter itself.
if i add it to the vmbr0 and/or add the mac under hwadress the machine is not reachable. at kvm-console i see that i can't ping anythig from the machine itself.

i don't understand it.

/etc/network/interfaces
Code:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eno1
#iface eno1 inet manual
iface eno1 inet static
address xx.xx.xx.xxx/32
gateway xx.xx.xx.xx

auto vmbr0
#iface vmbr0 inet static
#       address xx.xx.xx.xxx/32
#       hwadress YY:YY:YY:YY:YY:YY
#       gateway xx.xx.xx.xx
#       bridge_ports eno1
#       bridge_stp off
#       bridge_fd 0
#       pointopoint xx.xx.xx.xx

#       up sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
#      up sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.eno1.send_redirects=0

auto vmbr1
iface vmbr1 inet manual
        bridge-ports none
        bridge-stp off
        bridge-fd 0

There is a typo: hwadress->hwaddress
 
Having very similar issues after upgrading from 6.4 to 7.0. Adding the "hwaddress" option in /etc/network/interfaces did *not* work for me.

Both ethernet devices show as "UP" in the output of 'ip -c link', however my bond0 (LACP) and vmbr0 devices show as "DOWN".
 
After I upgraded my cluster from 6 to 7 I did not have any network connectivity. what ended up fixing the issues was logging into each node and running the following command

systemctl enable networking; reboot

After that, the node rebooted and came back online and everything was working again. Not sure why the networking stack got disabled during the update. This is on a 5 node cluster with multiple NICs with and without bonds that was using ifupdown2 before the upgrade.
