I have a switch, How does a virtual nic which communicates between unraid and a VM of pfsense use a switch?
-
Like I said before. you do not need a pfSense bridge to communicate across your virtual environment. You need a bridge in the virtual environment.
-
ok, but then how does unraid communicate with the physical environment without assigning an ip on a different subnet?
-
you connect your hypervisor to the bridge by bridging in a hypervisor physical NIC.
-
That line should should go in /boot/loader.conf.local to avoid being overwritten at upgrade. You will probably need to create that.
Don't remove the default values from loader.conf.

I'm not sure how I would do that, are there any instructions anywhere on how to set that up?
Should my virtual nic and physical nic both be available on the pfsense interface or are you saying that unraid should have control of the nic and pf should send stuff to the unraid server through the virtual nic if it wants to reach my switch?
-
The hypervisor should have connectivity to the physical network so virtual machines running in it have connectivity to the physical network.

Hmm, well that's not great. You see multiple queue now in
vmstat -i? Interrupts on all of them?Steve
