 section below for all the available arguments in the `ssh` block.
 
+#### Node IP address used for SSH connection
+
+In order to make the SSH connection, the provider needs to know the IP address
+of the node specified in the resource. The provider will attempt to resolve the
+node name to an IP address using Proxmox API to enumerate the node network
+interfaces, and use the first one that is not a loopback interface. In some
+cases this may not be the desired behavior, for example when the node has
+multiple network interfaces, and the one that should be used for SSH is not the
+first one.
+
+To override the node IP address used for SSH connection, you can use the
+optional
+`node` blocks in the `ssh` block. For example:
+
+```terraform
+  ssh {
+  agent    = true
+  username = "root"
+  node {
+    name    = "pve1"
+    address = "192.168.10.1"
+  }
+  node {
+    name    = "pve2"
+    address = "192.168.10.2"
+  }
+}

+```
