PfSense ESXI

[pfRoss]

dhcpd service is started and running. This is driving me nuts.

[heper]

so you can ping from pfsense to another guest when setting static ips ; but dhcpd doesnt work ?

is there anything special about the vswitch configuration ?

[pfRoss]

Correct.

I'm going to setup the vSwitches and try again.

[pfRoss]

Ok, that didn't help.

Is there anything more I can do to debug this? It's just refusing to work.

[heper]

packet capture on pfsense and on other vm's to figure out where it goes wrong.

So tcpdump right?

Looks to me like your not seeing dhcp discover, so either your not sending them or for some reason your server is not seeing them..

your dhcp server log would show discovers or requests

Diagnostics: Packet Capture

and/or wireshark on your vm's

[johnpoz]

yeah you can fun tcpdump from ssh or console as well.

Cannot believe I screwed this up so badly. My apologies guys… Quite simply I had the interfaces assigned wrong.  :'(
