Dual virtual NICs on VM image

I am testing an instance of Axigen using the official virtual appliance running on Proxmox.

Ideally I would like to allow the server to communicate on 2 different network interfaces, one on a trusted/management network and one for the public side. (Even though the public side is in a DMZ network I’d rather not expose all the management ports to that side in case another host on the DMZ gets compromised)

Is this possible? I cannot find any documentation on this. I only noticed one page in the webadmin which allows the admin to set a single IP address. I have already added the 2nd virtual NIC HW in the VM but have not setup the IP settings for that NIC on the Ubuntu side yet.

I tried using the CLI to check for possible server settings for that there but since its limited by default to using directly on the physical server and the CLI environment doesn’t support most OS shell commands and the apparent lack of a paging function makes it very difficult to use if I cannot scroll back to the content that scrolls off the page.

Thanks

Hello @raid5

You will have to configure the second network card at operating system level using the network configuration file available at:

/etc/network/interfaces

more information are available at:

After that, you can choose which card it will be used in Axigen by editing the desired listener and changing the address from 0.0.0.0 (which binds to all available networks) to the IP address of the desired card (trusted or public).
