Routing Between Virtual Switches

ph0t0g

Hi All,

I created a virtual network in Hyper-V consisting of 4 virtual switches connected by a pfsense virtual box with 4 interfaces.

Please take a look at this diagram.

The problem is that devices on the switches can only talk to other devices on the same switch, not devices on different switches. I set up firewall rules on the pfs interfaces to allow all traffic in and out, but no routing is taking place.

I would like to accomplish the following..

All devices on all switches can talk to each other on all ports.
All devices can access the internet
Establish connectivity with the rest of my home network (192.168.21.0/24)

Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

Hi,

Based on your drawing, this is perfectly normal.

@ph0t0g "All devices on all switches can talk to each other on all ports."

The rest I don't understand, why segment your network if you then want to create an any - any rule in the end?

Put it all on "one" vSwitch and you get what you want

BTW:
routing between networks should also work, because that's pfSense's job, so you're configuring something wrong, more info needed...
