Cisco virtual Wireless LAN Controller OS as guest on pfSense anyone?

[uknownme123]

Not sure if this is permitted, so admin feel free to remove. I just stumble on some infor and was able to get virtual environment (byhve) to run Cisco virtual Wireless Lan Controller OS on pfSense. PfSense is the host. I was trying to eliminate equipment off my server rack. One less piece of hardware (cisco 4402) sucking up electricity. Thanks to the addition of kldload vmm on pfSense 2.3. With all the dumped cisco wireless access points on Ebay, this will be a sweet setup. You will require Cicso virtual WLC licensing to download the iso image from Cisco website.

First you must create bridge (tap0) between guest OS (cisco virtual WLC) and LAN interface on pfSense. In the steps below skip the command lines regarding tap0 bridge. I found it easier to use pfSense GUI to make the bridge. Remember to enable traffic through the bridge in firewall rules section. Here is a guide, not my website by the way. Also bhyve is in early testing stage, so cisco guest OS has a weird way to boot up.

No attached AP yet, but looks promising and will be hooking up APs for sure.
