EVE-NG Community - adding an extra interface stops access to EVE-ng

Post by gmanni » Thu Feb 19, 2026 10:25 pm

Hello

I'm having a problem with eve-ng running on ESXi
Everything seems to work ok if I use only one interface.
I can ping, I can create labs, and all the images can go to the internet, no problems

As soon as I add a new interface in ESXi for EVE-NG, I can't access it anymore
The routing is still in place,
pnet0 is still showing the same IP, but I can't access it.
It won't ping anymore, not even the gateway, and is not reachable via SSH or webUI
I can only access it via the console in ESXi

I tried to import a new instance of the same OVA file, but the same behaviour is happening

Removing the interface will regain access to the network, and it will be accessible again

Has anyone experienced the same behaviour?

I can't figure out what it is that is ruining the network traffic

Thank you in advance for any tips

First of all, download our latest Eve 6.x https://www.eve-ng.net/index.php/download/#DL-COMM
and try it.

Thank you for the suggestion

I think I have the latest version

dpkg -l eve-ng
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend
|/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
||/ Name Version Architecture Description
+++-==============-============-============-==============================================
ii eve-ng 6.2.0-4 amd64 A new generation software for networking labs.
root@eve-ng:~#

Although I don't understand the error (whether it is relevant or if I can ignore it)
Everything works fine apart from the fact that I can only use one cloud

If there is a log or something that I can check so I can understand it, it would be nice

thank you
