EVE-NG pnet interfaces down "<NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP>"

Hello,

I installed EVE-NG on my Google Cloud and I am trying to connect my lab to the internet. I configured everything properly but my pnet interfaces are down and I see “<NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP>”

How I can set them up (at least pnet1 which I need) , because I tried all those commands for bringing interface up and they didn’t work. (like “ip link set pnet1 up”)

Are you able to share more details regarding the network interface configuration of the instance and the VPC(s)/subnet(s) to which it is connected?

Hello Alex, yes of course. What I found is that most likely the problem is because I have only one interface on the instance, so I need to add another one under which I can add pnet1 but the problem is I cannot. “Add a network interface” is greyed out and when I put a mouse on it it shows “cannot add an item”

Here in screenshots, I provide how everything looks

As of today, NIC complement can only be specified at machine creation. See the first bullet point on this doc:

https://cloud.google.com/vpc/docs/multiple-interfaces-concepts

So basically if I want more interfaces, I should delete my virtual machine and install it again ?
