Fundamental Network Interface Configuration in Proxmox

If you are new to Proxmox, you may be unsure how to configure the various network interfaces especially when your Proxmox system has multiple network interfaces.

In this video, I show you the fundamentals of configuring the network interfaces in Proxmox and how you may wish to use them in your homelab.

This video is not intended to be an exhaustive explanation of all aspects of networking in Proxmox, but hopefully it can help you get started on the right path!

i read the title which said basic network, but then you scared me with your setup :D

[Jacobduke]

please do a video for setting up an IOT network, your 3 part opnsense tutorial was amazing and got me started with homelabbing, would love to see how to setup IOT in opnsense

[ryanmalone]

Looks amazing. I can't ev en get Proxmox to talk to my network. Network sees it but there is no traffic. Never had an OS that was so difficult to connect up to the network, despite all the ports being seen and recognized when installing it. I wish VMware was still Homelab friendly, everything just worked.

For vlan aware network bridge. so if you have a switch port that is vlan 100 that bridge port that has vlan aware enabled any vms or containers will be on vlan 100?

[tarekt.]

At 5:08 you say, that you can set VLAN on or inside your Linux Bridges. Can you explain how you do that? In other videos, they always use Linux VLAN. Also, my Opnsense never recognize my Proxmox when I set a static IP Address, hence why I use Static DHCP mapping within Opnsens. My Opnsense and Proxmox server are on separate Hardware. Big thanks for your videos.

Sorry if not right place to ask this. Please would you be able to do a video on opnsense Kea DHCP? Is there a way to migrate over to it?

[TimSchneider-qwzs]

Does this allow for network cross talk? If I vmbr0 and vmr1, how can i keep networks crossing?

[lgic]

9:23 thats really cool... Sounds like you can have vlans without a managed switch... Any regular switch connected to a vlan'ed interface/NIC is on that network... Giving you multiple virtual networks even if you dont own a managed switch. Just maybe with a performanace hit....

Is that right?

Thanks Guy! ;)

Proxmox for home LAB is as important as Home Assistant and Opnsense.
These 3 programs are basics for everything else (of course: Linux is top but Linux is with us for what... 30 years? (ok, I checked: 1991, I wasn't that far)

btw: dark mode sir... ;-)

[Auser]

Here is a question how I connect proxmox to the WIFI without ethernet and a laptop without an Ethernet port.

[zyghom]

I counted how many times you said: "actually" but I got lost after 123 ;-)

[CharizardSnyper]

Do you have a discord server I can join for some one on one help?

[TheHagamanstube]

so much bla bla bla and nothing informative...

[brizm]

So went from basics to you going all over the place... I am so confused now. Don't advertise a basic network video, then gloss over what you have setup without the reasons why.
