Why does this keep happening?

Hello,
I have a proxmox server with a pretty simple and straightforward network configuration:

One nic, one bridge with clearly defined ip range, simple. However, whenever I connect a guest vm or container to this bridge and configure the nic to use DHCP to dynamically assign the ip configuration, the guest keeps configuring itself with a clearly invalid ip address:

This happens with every guest I create, and it has forced me to statically set the ip configuration for every single guest I create, just to add said guest to the correct and valid network. Why are my proxmox guests pulling invalid information from the network bridge?
 
On the network, that you are bridging - you most likely have a DHCP server that is giving out addresses in the 10.1.10.0/24 range. The bridge itself, or PVE itself doesn't hand out DHCP leases by default.
