April 17, 20179 yr I am trying to setup the networking on my server. I have 2 NIC's each on it's own network (x.x.1.x and x.x.2.x). I am trying to get it so that I can static my vm's to either one or the other. What bonding mode would best be suited for this?
April 17, 20179 yr Bonding and two different networks can't go together. You either have a single network with a bonded interface or two separate networks each with an dedicated interface.
April 17, 20179 yr Author Is there a way to get the VM's to see both networks then? Right now they only seem to be getting access to the primary network (x.x.1.x).
April 17, 20179 yr I am confused, what is it you are trying to accomplish? Why do you want to have two networks? When you have two networks, you need a router to route between them.

Right now they only seem to be getting access to the primary network (x.x.1.x). You can enable bridging on both interfaces and add both to the VM template, you'll them need to configure both NICs on the VM for your use case.

Not sure what the OP is trying to do in this case but the another individual had a media sever that he wanted to share between two separate households and he didn't want either household to have access to the computers in the other household.
April 17, 20179 yr Author This is a machine we use at work (an ISP and Computer Repair Shop). One network is our company network (used for backing up mainly) the other network is a general network for testing customer machines (separate for security reasons). My unRAID implementation allows us to access shares between both networks. We are wanting to spin up a small Ubuntu server on the customer side of it but right now it only gets a company IP.
April 17, 20179 yr When both interfaces have "bridge" enabled, they are available to the VMs as br0 and br1. This would allow you to create a first VM attached to br0 for communication with one network, and create a second VM attached to br1 for communication with the other network. Both VMs can be set up to access shared resources as you wish. Edited April 17, 20179 yr by bonienl
April 17, 20179 yr Author I just found that, but thank you! I enabled Bridge on the 2nd interface and then it showed up under the virtual machine LAN options.
