      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?

        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

              
              [2.1.1-PRERELEASE][admin@pfsense.local.lan]/root(1): ifconfig

              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.

                      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.

                            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.

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

                                And your saying your clients are getting this via dhcp

                                Well so 6.1 is your gateway?  But pfsense doesn't have an IP on 6.1 via your ifconfig – it has .0 as its address.. Which is the WIRE and not a valid host IP for your mask of /24

                                    can you direct me how to create the bridg between the two LAN ?

                                    Huh?! You already have one even though you should NOT have any as there's no reason for that!

                                    Are you actually listening to what people are writing here? WHY do you want to create yet another bridge?  :o

                                      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..
