VE and DHCP Server

done: VE and DHCP Server

Hello,
i would like to setup a debian vm with a dhcp server. As far as i configured the machine i used venet0:0, but with no success. i found a documentation about the virtual ethernet device. must i change the device from venet to veth? i thought the default setting "venet) openvz container is bridged?! can i change it reactive from venet to veth?

Yes, dhcp needs veth (venet is routed, and that does not work with dhcp).

i thought the default setting "venet) openvz container is bridged?!

no

Thx, thats what i thougth too. Its a fresh vm, so its better to install this one new with veth as nic, or is it easier too change it anywhere?

just remove the assigned IP via Proxmox VE gui and save. now you should be able to set veth.

now, you need to configure the IP settings inside the container.

Thx, that works. Simple and good. But why should i use the venet instead of the veth with real mac? Where are the advantage and disadvanteges of both?
