Currently I did it in the comment. In the proxmox gui you can assign a MAC yourself which will be the VM's layer 2 address. The DHCP server can be configured to hand-out specific IP to specific MAC; a bunch of other options is available like automatic PXE setup (https://debian-administration.org/article/478/Setting_up_a_server_for_PXE_network_booting) -- Hilsen/Regards Michael Rasmussen Get my public GnuPG keys: michael <at> rasmussen <dot> cc http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xD3C9A00E mir <at> datanom <dot> net http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xE501F51C mir <at> miras <dot> org http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xE3E80917 -------------------------------------------------------------- /usr/games/fortune -es says: Logic is a systematic method of coming to the wrong conclusion with confidence.
