Pfsense with 3 NICS
-
Dear All,
i have on my ESXI Pfsense 2.1 with 3 NICS
1 WAN
1 LAN
1 LAN 2
the issue is all is working beside the LAN2 when the users are connectiong to the LAN 2 and using it as gateway they can't browse to the internet
i've checked the firewall rules they are file,
P.S. users on the Lan are fine !
can you please point me to the right direction ?Go to Interfaces -> Assign -> Bridges tab -> Create bridge of LAN1 and LAN2 unless you want them as seperate lans for some reason
hi Bryan,
yes I want both of them to be separated,
is this possible ?What kind of separation? What is the goal?
-
What subnets are you using for LAN and LAN2?
Do you see anything in the firewall logs when LAN2 users try to connect?Please give as many details as possible.
Steve
-
What firewall rules do you think are fine? Did you turn off automatic nat?
-
Dear Bryan,
the Goal is both not to reach each otherse, from each side there is a File server which is gonna be restricted. also LAN2 NIC will have different restriction than LAN1Stephen
LAN 1 is 192.168.4.0/24
LAN2 is 192.168.6.0/24John:
Automatic NAT is on
the firewall rules are exactly the same on both NICS, Allow all
but LAN1 works and LAN2 no,the only different is LAN2 not attached to a Physique NIC and LAN1 it does so as it showen on the attached
-
I assume you add some VMs to vSwitch2 to tests LAN2?
You realise the firewall rule on LAN2 must have the source address as the LAN2 subnet or 'any'. It differs from the LAN default rule in that way.
Since you don't mention it I assume you're not seeing anything in the firewall logs.Steve

Go to Esxi - firewall vm properties -> Add a third network card and place it on LAN2
Go to pFsense -> Interfaces -> Make sure the third interface is assigned and labeled
Go to pFsense -> Services -> DHCP Server -> Press the third interface tab -> Setup up DHCP
Go to pFsense -> Firewall -> Outbound -> Press "Add a new rule based on this one" For the "Auto created rule for LAN to WAN" and change the source to reflect your second LAN subnet -

Do you mean create the same rule as LAN1 ? or Edit the Rule ?
on the firewall in dont have OUTBOUND option.
do i need some plug in ? -
It's in Firewall: NAT: Outbound:
However by default the outbound NAT mode is set to 'Automatic outbound NAT rule generation'. That will work fine for your dual LAN setup. There should be need to add manual outbound rules as long as it's still set to automatic.Please post your LAN2 firewall rules, a screenshot if possible.

hi Stephen
there is only one rule to allow the whole traffic,
attached is the screenshot
how can i do this exactly ?Go to pFsense -> Firewall -> Outbound -> Press "Add a new rule based on this one" For the "Auto created rule for LAN to WAN" and change the source to reflect your second LAN subnet
on the Outband there is no Manual rules yet. just Automatically.
i've configured a user with 192.168.6.0/24 on the same NIC but can't ping 192.168.6.1 the router
firewall screenshot is of the client behind the LAN2 when try to browse.
Much appreciate it !

Yeah that makes sense. It should make it automatically

Why would you have a block rfc1918 rule on your LAN interface? You do understand your lan2 would be private, and pfsense own IPs on that lan would be rfc1918 as well
LAN 1 is 192.168.4.0/24
LAN2 is 192.168.6.0/24And how is anything suppose to get to lan2 when there is nothing in your vswitch for lan 2 - what interface in pfsense is connected to lan2?
-
Yep that's your problem.
Go to Interfaces: LAN1: and uncheck 'block private networks' and 'block bogon networks'.
Bogons may not be necessary but there's no need to block them on LAN.Steve

What is the default on those when configuring a new interface ?
-
OFF, it only defaults to be on WAN interface.

This is what I had thought so I assume he must have changed options or maybe reversed his iunterfaces at some point and had to reassign?

hi Bryan,
i am using all my 3 NICS to use Teaming so all traffic will go thought the WAN.Yep that's your problem. Go to Interfaces: LAN1: and uncheck 'block private networks' and 'block bogon networks'. Bogons may not be necessary but there's no need to block them on LAN. Steve
those rules were added automatically when i created the rules.
you mean i need to uncheck all private Network between the LANS ?is it possible to have all traffic go out and in thought the WAN wihtout assign a physique NIC on the Vswitch ?
creating a Vlan with one Physique NIC could fix the issue ?
-
Uncheck the two boxes on the interface setup page.
It doesn't matter that all the traffic is going to the WAN. The source is the LAN subnet which is a private network. If you look at your firewall rules for that interface you'll see that the 'block private networks' rules is at the top of the list so it matches the incoming packets first and the 'allow all rules' are never reached. The 'block private networks' check box is only there for WAN interfaces where you would not expect traffic arriving with an RFC1918 source address unless it's been spoofed.Steve
-
"those rules were added automatically when i created the rules."
No I highly doubt that, nnless you created a WAN interface, by putting a gateway on it?
"i am using all my 3 NICS to use Teaming so all traffic will go thought the WAN."
What – no you are not.. I suggest you look up the term "teaming" as it has to do with network interfaces - you are not doing that ;)
"is it possible to have all traffic go out and in thought the WAN wihtout assign a physique NIC on the Vswitch ?"
Sure - if your Other vm's have an interface in that vswitch - see example below on my dmz vswitch. There is an interface connected to my pfsense VM, and then the other vms that need to use this interface on pfsense are tied to that same vswitch. It does not need to be tied to the physical network. But it can access the physical network through pfsense that has its other lan and wlan in my case tied to physical networks. See attachment 2

this where i want to go to, use all my NIC for teaming

But it can access the physical network through pfsense that has its other lan and wlan in my case tied to physical networks. See attachment 2
the machine on your DMZ can reach the internet even there is no Physique interface?
this exactly what i am looking for. -
Yes why would they not.. They are connected to a switch that is in connected to pfsense interface (be it all virtual), which has physical connection to the real network.
That is not TEAMING.. where did you come up that you think you want to do teaming?
Teaming in reference to network, call it link aggregation, port trunking, nic teaming, bonding has nothing to do with this.
But notice in your drawing - there is NOTHING connected to your switch, no vm's no interface in pfsense that your calling lan2, but where is that connected to a vswitch?
-
Are you saying that you would like to able to this without any physical NICs (which you can) because you want to use the NICs you have in an aggregated connection? You have setup you NICs as they are currently because you didn't realise you could do it all virtually without any NICs?
Steve
-
i am using all my 3 NICS to use Teaming so all traffic will go thought the WAN.
Guess it could be a lot of things. Jamerson you need to really clarify and perhaps draw a diagram of what you want.
-
Well clearly his NOT doing that, since he has a nic in his lan network and nic in his wan network - so how could he be "teaming" them. He clearly doesn't understand the term.
For that matter he doesn't even have 3 nics, be it physical or VM.. Look at his esxi host networking he posted
He doesn't even have a lan2 interface listed in his VM networking for pfsense, which I take is the firewall vm.. Yet he says he created firewall rules in pfsense for lan? So what did he connect to lan2? Mystery to be sure.
-
sorry guys for my late reply ( been sick ).
about the NIC teaming haven't configured it yet on the LAB and I know what is NIC teaming by the way, that why you don't see it on the Diagram.
what I need is when VM on the same LAN2 on ESXI that they need to reach the internet.
My PFSENSE has 3 NICS,
WAN and LAN1 and LAN2
LAN 1 and LAN 2 are not attached to Physical NIC,
attached is screenshot of the LAB
I didn't add the NIC yet of the PFSENSE to each group LAN 1 and LAN 2.
on LAN 1 will have PFSENSE NIC 2
on LAN 2 will have PFSENSE NIC 3
so when I move a VM to the LAN 1 0r LAN 2 it doesn't reach the internet. this is my problem.
when I attached a physical NIC to LAN 1 or LAN 2 on the ESXI it works
-
Dude how is anything going to use pfsense if pfsense has no VIRTUAL nic in the switch??
How is any VM going to connect to pfsense lan1 or lan2 if there is NOTHING connected to the vswitch? Does not matter if the vswitch is not connected to the physical world or not..
See bottom of my virtual network from esxi
See how pfsense has a virtual interface connected into the vswitch, so that other virtual machines with a virtual interface connected to this vswitch can connect to pfsense and then access the real world (internet or lan or wlan) via the physical nics connected to those vswitches.
You have nothing connected to your lan1 or lan2 from your drawing - no pfsense interfaces, no vms – so NO how would anything use it.. What does pfsense show for its interfaces, since from your drawing you don't show any lan1 or lan2 interfaces for pfsense at all.
So for example

Those are the interfaces in my virtual pfsense.. Se how pfsense has 4 interfaces. One in each segment (wan, lan, wlan, dmz) notice how in my esxi network pfsense is listed as having a connection in each vswitch that is connected to each one of pfsense interfaces. If I connect a virtual machine to that vswitch, via a virtual interface. Like the W7 machine on the bottom above pfsense on the dmz vswitch.. It can talk to pfsense over the vswitch on its dmz virtual interface and then pfsense can route it to any of its other interfaces over virtual - which may or may not have access into the physical world via a physical adapter connected to that vswitch.

Well for one this address is wrong
inet 192.168.6.0 that you have on em2
That is a network (wire address) with that mask netmask 0xffffff00 (/24 or 255.255.255.0) not a host or interface address. I would think it should be 192.168.6.1 - so fix that for starters.
Now on lan2, connect some Vms. Did you post the wrong drawing again - there are no other vms connected to vswitch2 or lan 2 in your drawing - so how is anything expected to connect to pfsense lan2 interface. Same with lan1 - there are NO other vms there either. Did you not understand my last post?
Once you have a vm actually connected to lan2 vswitch, and give pfsense an actual valid host IP that you want to use for the network you put it on.. Can the clients connected to that vswitch on the same network as pfsense interface ping it? What are the firewall rules for that interface. While the first lan you create when pfsense is installed will have a any any rule on it and allow outbound traffic to anywhere. When you add additional interfaces there will be NO rules, and you have to allow the traffic you want out on this new network segment. So what are you rules on lan2?
-
You have bridge0 containing both em1 and em2. They both have static IP addresses in different subnets. Are they both running dhcp? (Is that possible?). You have bridged the two subnets so that they both exist across both network segments. I'm fairly sure you don't want to do that.
Steve
-
I cannot see any pfSense anywhere on the networking diagrams you posted. Really dunno what you are trying to do there. When nothing's connected, nothing will work. Other than that - flush the mess you have created down the drain, and produce a barebones basic setup with 3 NICs. No "teaming", "bridging" and similar nonsense.

Good catch.. Didn't even get that far in his listing

You have bridge0 containing both em1 and em2. They both have static IP addresses in different subnets. Are they both running dhcp? (Is that possible?). You have bridged the two subnets so that they both exist across both network segments. I'm fairly sure you don't want to do that.

Hi Stephen
LAN2 has a DHCP enable and the machines recieves the IP from the DHCP server
192.168.6.11
255.255.255.0
192.168.6.1I cannot see any pfSense anywhere on the networking diagrams you posted. Really dunno what you are trying to do there. When nothing's connected, nothing will work. Other than that - flush the mess you have created down the drain, and produce a barebones basic setup with 3 NICs. No "teaming", "bridging" and similar nonsense.
ASA Firewall is the PFSENSE on the diagrame,
i havent created any Teaming yet. i am just trying to get the VM to access the internet without Physical NIC attached to the Vswitch on the ESXI

i have created a vm and attached to LAN2 with LAN2 NIC of PFSENSE
and still can't get to the internet
i didnt really created any bridg connection, probably it out of the box ?

No, there is absolutely NO bridge created out of the box. As already suggested quite some time ago, reset the config to factory defaults and start from scratch, with a simple setup, and do not do anything else until you understand the consequences.

Not any time I've installed pfSense. ;) Though I've never used the OVA preconfigured VM.
I too would not expect to see a bridge interface unless you have deliberately created one.Steve

There is NO bridge out of the box that is for SURE!! You must of created it - delete that!!

i already answer this will be for testing, thank you .
LAN1 is production and LAN2 is for testing
-
Well, dude… this goes nowhere. WHAT are you testing with a setup that is totally FUBARed and you refuse any advise to get it fixed? You already bridged 2 out of 3 LANs, so what else do you want to bridge and WHY? . Like, some real reason what you expect from that. No, "it's for testing" is NOT any reason that makes sense. You have already tested that your setup does not work.
-
And you would not "bridge" between "production" and "testing".. You might bridge between physical segment that you need to extend into different locations - using 1 address network block. You would not bridge 2 different networks segments. That is utter nonsense..
And as already pointed out you already have one - which you say you didn't create.. WTF dude?? delete it - or better yet. Just wipe this pfsense vm completely and start over with a download iso you boot your new vm to and install. You should have nice clean setup with what you want to do it like 5 minutes top.. Out of the box you have to do like 3 things - set your wan static, change your lan to your ip range you want to use vs the default 192.168.1.0/24 and then create your 2nd segment and put in the any any firewall rule on this lan2 segment. There your done!!
Then you can start testing - what I have no idea..

John thank you so much for your continu support.
i will use a Physicall NIC to LAN 2.
really appreciate all your support guys.
and apologies if i caused any furstration !
