      Looking for some help/direction.

      Proxmox PVE
      latest pfsense iso

      I've got a supermicro x11ssh-ln4f-o
      http://images10.newegg.com/productimage/13-182-996-02.jpg

      IPMI: 192.168.1.2
      Proxmox setup on 192.168.1.3

      /etc/network/interfaces

      auto lo
      iface lo inet loopback
      iface eth0 inet manual
      iface eth1 inet manual
      iface eth2 inet manual
      iface eth3 inet manual
      iface eth4 inet manual
      iface eth5 inet manual

      auto vmbr0
      iface vmbr0 inet static
      –address 192.168.1.3
      --netmask 255.255.255.0
      --gateway 192.168.1.1
      --pridge_ports eth0
      --bridge_stp off
      --bridge_fd 0

      auto vmbr1
      iface vmbr1 inet manual
      --bridgeports eth1
      --bridge_stp off
      --bridge_fd 0

      auto vmbr2
      iface vmbr1 inet manual
      --bridgeports eth2
      --bridge_stp off
      --bridge_fd 0


      I was following a couple guides online like the following
      http://mattcarey.me/2016/03/08/running-pfsense-proxmox-vm/

      I have 4 nic's plus an IPMI.  I can access the LAN and IMPI on port 1, and in the guide using port 2 for the WAN.
      https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B15p4ppbxdipMEMxY0ZhQ1J4VzQ

      After doing some forum digging it looks like the IPMI port might be mapping to nic 1, which I can access the interface with no cable in the IPMI eth.

      What's confusing me is that when i look at the interfaces, is eth0 the IMPI port or nic 1?

      Simply looking to put pfsense in front of everything else that will get installed on this, and I'd really like to stick with proxmox.

      Any one have a suggestion ?

        trial and error… using proxmox on supermicro boards they bind the IPMI port to lan 1 (eth0), thus creating my confusion.

        vmbr0 = eth0,eth2,eth3,eth4 - 192.168.1.3 / 255.255.255.0 / 192.168.1.1
        vmbr1 = eth 1

        pfsense add two nic's e1000's, assign one vmbr(x) to each nic
        Then go through the assign function at the command prompt.
        get into the gui and dhcp release / renew on your WAN.

        Fixed it for me.  Now to assign a fail over secondary wan using a cradlepoint AER1600
