Proxmox VE 9

Add Network Zones2026/04/17

 

By default, Proxmox creates a zone called [localnetwork] and configures a bridge network to the network to which the Proxmox host belongs.
To add a new network zone to this, configure it as follows.

[1]

Access the shell as the administrator user of Proxmox VE and install Dnsmasq following the instructions in [1].
Since it will start automatically after installation, disable the service by entering the command [systemctl disable --now dnsmasq].

[2] Log in to the Proxmox VE management console as an administrator user, select [Datacenter] in the left pane, and click [SDN] - [Zones] in the right pane.
[3] Click the [Add] button at the top and select [Simple] from the menu.
[4] Enter any zone name in the [ID] field and check the [automatic DHCP] box.
The zone name must be short, as long names cannot be registered.
Other fields are optional. After filling in all the information, click the [Add] button.
[5] Once a setting is added, it will appear in the list. To apply the setting, click [SDN] in the left menu.
[6] Click the [Apply] button at the top to apply the settings.
[7] Once the settings are applied correctly, they will appear in the list.
