Network Device

Each VM can have many Network interface controllers (NIC), of four different types:

Intel E1000 is the default, and emulates an Intel Gigabit network card.

the VirtIO paravirtualized NIC should be used if you aim for maximum performance. Like all VirtIO devices, the guest OS should have the proper driver

the Realtek 8139 emulates an older 100 MB/s network card, and should only be used when emulating older operating systems ( released before 2002 )

the vmxnet3 is another paravirtualized device, which should only be used when importing a VM from another hypervisor.

Proxmox VE will generate for each NIC a random MAC address, so that your VM is addressable on Ethernet networks.

The NIC you added to the VM can follow one of two different models:

in the default Bridged mode each virtual NIC is backed on the host by a tap device, ( a software loopback device simulating an Ethernet NIC ). This tap device is added to a bridge, by default vmbr0 in Proxmox VE. In this mode, VMs have direct access to the Ethernet LAN on which the host is located.

@Vumer:

das habe ich, aber dann bekommt die VM keine IP

Intel, Realtek und VMware komen alle mit dem npm Fehler `
Ist das auch so, wenn du den Network Nic vor dem Installieren mit dem ISO schon auf VirtIO einstellst?

[Vumer]

ja, dann findet debian kein DHCP. Und wenn icht dann eine feste IP vergebe kommt die VM auch nicht raus
