# VMID 6000 Network Fix - Complete

**Date**: 2026-01-22  
**VMID**: 6000 (fabric-1)  
**IP Address**: 192.168.11.113  
**Status**: ✅ **FIXED** (temporary) | ⚠️ **RESTART REQUIRED** (persistent)

---

## Problem

VMID 6000 was showing "Network is unreachable" after IP reassignment from 192.168.11.112 to 192.168.11.113.

---

## Root Cause

1. **Interface State**: `eth0` was in state `DOWN`
2. **Missing IP**: No IPv4 address assigned to `eth0` (only IPv6 link-local)
3. **No Default Route**: Gateway route was missing

---

## Fix Applied

### Step 1: Bring Interface UP
```bash
pct exec 6000 -- ip link set eth0 up
```
✅ **Result**: Interface is now UP

### Step 2: Assign IP Address
```bash
pct exec 6000 -- ip addr add 192.168.11.113/24 dev eth0
```
✅ **Result**: IPv4 address assigned

### Step 3: Add Default Route
```bash
pct exec 6000 -- ip route add default via 192.168.11.1 dev eth0
```
✅ **Result**: Default route configured

---

## Current Status

### Interface Status
- ✅ `eth0` is UP
- ✅ IPv4 address: 192.168.11.113/24 assigned
- ✅ Default route: via 192.168.11.1

### Connectivity
- ✅ Gateway (192.168.11.1): Reachable
- ⚠️ **Note**: This fix is temporary - IP assignment will be lost on container restart

---

## Persistent Fix Required

The IP address assignment is temporary. For a persistent fix, the container needs to be restarted so Proxmox applies the network configuration from `pct config`.

### Recommended Action

```bash
# On Proxmox host (r630-01)
pct stop 6000
pct start 6000
```

After restart, Proxmox will automatically:
- Bring the interface UP
- Assign the IP address (192.168.11.113/24)
- Configure the default route (via 192.168.11.1)

---

## Verification

After restart, verify:
```bash
# Check interface
pct exec 6000 -- ip addr show eth0

# Check routing
pct exec 6000 -- ip route show

# Test connectivity
pct exec 6000 -- ping -c 2 192.168.11.1
```

---

## Summary

**Status**: ✅ **TEMPORARY FIX APPLIED**

- Interface is UP
- IP address assigned
- Gateway reachable
- **Action Required**: Restart container for persistent fix

---

**Next Step**: Restart VMID 6000 to make the network configuration persistent.
