@bearhntr That's basically a Proxmox Topic. Maybe its firewall only allow access to the former interface. As I understand it - in order for any other VMs (currently only pfSense on here - until I figure this out) need to use the same vmbrXX that pfSense is using for LAN in order to get an address? Is this accurate? Yes, if you set an IP on the bridge, I'd expect, that you can access the GUI using it. However, to have IPs on multiple interfaces within the same subnet, is not a good idea at all. So you should remove the other and maybe it needs to be rebooted then.

@bmeeks Sure, and I 'get it' and not complaining. It helps to have a clear understanding of how things work. Not trying to rock the boat. As mentioned, I'm doing my best to get with newer (to me) things. Thx, Chris

@ARTEMISFAN Congrats...please mask your WAN IP.

What is 10.0.2.2 there? Are you NATing in VBox or bridging?

@eiger3970-0 with two physical NICs, option 0 or 1 are most sensible.

@tim4532 said in Proxmox SR-IOV VF pass-through to pfSense VM: FYI: My board got 2x 1G and 2x 10G ports. I would definitely use one of the 10G for pfSense WAN set for vtnet0 connected directly to your ISP modem. Once you assigned say ens2f0 to vtnet0, you don't need to passthrough the entire NIC, just plug the cable from your ISP and it will automatically passthrough...same goes for LAN if you have an external switch, do the same as you did with WAN and connect Proxmox's management port to the switch...you would have one port available for whatever you want.

@johnpoz Hi John, Thank you for your reply. As I use pfsense on the ESXi for a long time without issues I forgot it is only recommended for testing on virtualized platforms. https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/virtualization/index.html#:~:text=pfSense%C2%AE%20software%20supports%20a,Type%2D1%20hypervisors%20for%20production. at the same time they mention freebsd 14 on esxi 7, that is the version I am running: https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/recipes/virtualize-esxi.html Some links for references: https://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/vcl/result.php?search=FreeBSD&searchCategory=Guest+OS https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/releases/versions.html Anyway if anybody get to know how to resolve the current issue please kindly help to reply. Kind Regards,

It looks like a firmware update put the IPMI on the motherboard in Failover NIC mode instead of Dedicated mode. I switched it back to dedicated and it has been stable for a few days.

Something I learned during my recent Proxmox setup is that one doesn't need to passthrough the PCIe NIC, example the Intel i350-t4. At the time of configuring pfSense at the console, just name them vtnet0, vtnet1, vtnet2, vtnet3...they will automatically pass to the NIC...the surprise doing it this way is 10GB lie or is that 10Gb...

Thanks a lot bmeeks.

@johnpoz Yeah that's correct, sorry. English is not my native language and i was to busy to try to not make some stupid error and so i explain bad this part sorry

@SteveITS said in pfSense Plus - licence - Proxmox Virtualization: Correct. I believe Netgate has posted they will transfer a paid license once. I suspect the theory is most people are not changing hardware on production firewalls that often. Thank you - sounds good. Then, I'll experiment with the CE edition all that I can to arrive at a good working form, then upgrade that to the Plus, and leave it for normal software updates.

What do the states show when you test that? I assume that CentOS alias contains the correct two ports?
