PFsense on ESXI with Failover Ip

LordExtreme

Hello,

First my english is not so good sry :-[

I want a VM on my ESXI server with PFsense ( Router )

but the PFsense Router have no access to the internet.

I have a Failover IP from online.net ( my server provider ).

I know, how I have to "fix" it in debian and Windows

here a my settings from debian.

This file describes the network interfaces available on your system

and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*

The loopback network interface

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

The primary network interface

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 212.xx.xxx.xx ( the failover ip )
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 212.xx.xxx.xx ( the failover ip)
post-up route add 62.210.xxx.xxx dev eth0 ( default Gateway )
post-up route add default gw 62.210.xxx.xxx
post-down route del 62.210.xxx.xxx dev eth0
post-down route del default 62.210.xxx.xxx

Resolv.conf

nameserver 62.210.xxx.xxx
nameserver 62.210.xxx.xxx

How do I implement it in pfsense so the pfsense router has a internet connecten ?

more or less the same way.
the first time you have to login via ssh and use the same commands


route add -net 62.210.xxx.xxx -iface XYZ
route add default 62.210.xxx.xxx

after you have done this, your VM should be able to reach the internet.
now go to the packet-manager, search for "shellcmd" and install it.

After the installation go to Services -> shellcmd
add 2 new entries:

1. entry:


command: route add -net 62.210.xxx.xxx -iface XYZ
Shellcmd-Type: shellcmd
Description: Route for gateway

2. entry:


command: route add default 62.210.xxx.xxx
Shellcmd-Type: shellcmd
Description: add default-gw

if you now restart your pfsense-vm, shellcmd will execute this 2 commands and your firewall will be able to connect to the system.

I haven't setup any shellcmd for shutdown. That's not really nice, but doesn't really matter in most cases :)

I hope this helps :)

PFsense can access the internet , but loses the connection after 10-20 sec and its not coming back :-(
