VMs with dedicated NIC

[pvenub]

Have two NICs and am trying to figure out how to dedicate VMs to particular NIC. I have tried created bridge to eth0 and eth1 with vmbr0 and vmbr1 but if I do that way I can't use NAT? If I don't use NAT do I need to create vmbr.x for each VM separately or is there built in dhcp when using bridged mode?

Thank you,

this doesn't help much
how do i bridge all 4 NICs with dedicated ip addresses
i need each vm to have a dedicated interface

this is the default config

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

iface eno0 inet manual

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
        address 192.168.*.*
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        gateway 192.168.*.1
        bridge_ports eno0
        bridge_stp off
        bridge_fd 0

iface eno1 inet manual

iface eno2 inet manual

iface eno3 inet manual

i changed it to

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

iface eno0 inet manual

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
        address 192.168.*.2
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        gateway 192.168.*.1
        bridge_ports eno0
        bridge_stp off
        bridge_fd 0

iface eno1 inet manual

auto vmbr1
iface vmbr1 inet static
        address 192.168.*.3
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        gateway 192.168.*.1
        bridge_ports eno1
        bridge_stp off
        bridge_fd 0


iface eno2 inet manual

auto vmbr2
iface vmbr2 inet static
        address 192.168.*.4
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        gateway 192.168.*.1
        bridge_ports eno2
        bridge_stp off
        bridge_fd 0

iface eno3 inet manual

auto vmbr3
iface vmbr3 inet static
        address 192.168.*.5
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        gateway 192.168.*.1
        bridge_ports eno3
        bridge_stp off
        bridge_fd 0

but didn't work and i lost access to the web interface

ip a

showed first 2 eno states are down

Did you ever figure this out? I also want to dedicate a specific port from a Quad port NIC to one of my VM's but can't seem to get it working

You can create separate virtual bridge for every VM, each using one eth-port...

I did think about doing it like that. Is that the only way?

 

[Rhinox]

As alternative "pass-through" comes to my mind. But I'm not sure you can pass just individual port of multiport-NIC to VM. If you had multiple NICs (each with single eth-port), you could pass one NIC to every VM...

But I think that solution vith individual virtual bridge is easier. Never used it on PVE, but I have been using it extensively on ESXi (they call it "virtual switch" there) and it worked...
