Pfsense with 3 NICS

Jamerson

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.

hi John,
Let me thank you for your continue help really appreciate it.
apologies i've uploaded the wrong screenshot !
the attached is the correct screenshot

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?

stephenw10

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.

johnpoz

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

I just don't get it.. You really just click click and pfsense works out of the box – its like these users go out of their way to have issues.. Why would he have created a bridge?? When clearly he mentions multiple segments. And he seems to have a hard time posting actual info that is what his network is.. How do you not notice that what you posts shows NOTHING connected to your vswitches? ;)</learning,discover,autoedge,autoptp></learning,discover,autoedge,autoptp></up,broadcast,running,simplex,multicast>

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

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 ?

@Jamerson:

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.

stephenw10

@Jamerson:

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!!

And your saying your clients are getting this via dhcp

192.168.6.11
255.255.255.0
192.168.6.1

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

i already answer this will be for testing, thank you .

LAN1 is production and LAN2 is for testing

doktornotor

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.

johnpoz

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..

@johnpoz:

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..

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 !

johnpoz

Physical nic?? What?? Dude are you on medication or something?

Try to remain calm. ;D

We are somewhat going around in circles here.

Jamerson, what is your final goal here? Could you describe, perhaps with a diagram, what you are hoping to achieve.

Dude this guy is just loopy.. He is either off his medication or on some, or english is not his native language is only thing that explains this nonsense.

As to what he is trying to achieve, isn't it clear ;) "i am using all my 3 NICS to use Teaming so all traffic will go thought the WAN."

So either stoned or not a native speaker is my guess ;) I really want to help the guy - but its getting a bit ridiculous, maybe he is just trolling and having a good laugh?

I am sure he doesn't know what bridging and teaming are. So it would seem that others don't either. It looks like he is wanting a routed solution. teaming in VMWare, Windows, and linux is akin to LAGG in pfSense. Bridging is completely different.
On LAN and LAN2, please unset the Gateways. Turn off blocking of private and bogons on LAN and LAN2. Not on WAN unless WAN network is private. Then if you changed from autoNAT, turn it back on unless you plan on some expert configuration.

Create an two aliases. One that has the LAN subnet in there 10.0.10.0/24 and another Alias that has LAN2 subnet in it (192.168.2.0/24). Then create an rule in LAN (or modify the existing one) that states Any proto, from LAN subnet, any port ::: to ::: !LAN2 Subnet (the alias you created) on any port ::: Allow.
Create a similar rule on LAN2 that allows any traffic NOT going to LAN to pass.
This will block LAN and LAN2 from communicating.

Hope that helps.

John,
yes English is not my First Language !
what i want is explained on the attached Diagrams
Vswitch 2 on the ESXI doesn't have a Physique NIC
my Win7 can't reach the internet when the Vswitch 2 doesn't have a Physical NIC, when i connect a Physical NIC to the switch the internet start working,

i used to use Vyatta for the laste 6 years, and it Always works fine like this way ( wihtout Physical NIC on the Vswitch ).
with Vyatta i've bridged the LAN 1 and LAN 2 to each others to go over the WAN and reach the internet wihtout needing a Physical NIC on the Vswitch.
i hope it clear to you what i want.
