      Hi,

      So i'm trying to setup a virtual test environment for my microsoft MCSA server exams.

      I want to use VirtualBox for:

      1. pfSense

      2. Windows Server 2012/R2 with active directory domain controller, dhcp and dns services.

      3. Windows 10 virtual machine that has to communicate with the server and has to be in the AD

      –-------------------

      The current TCP/IP of my macbook i'm using to setup this virtual environment is:

      IP: 192.168.0.161/24

      Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1


      I made a virtual machine in virtual box for pfSense & modified the network settings to 2 adapters : bridged & internal


      Within the pfSense configuration I disabled DHCP and modified it to static instead.

      What ip addresses do i have to assign on pfSense for both WAN & LAN?

      I want to set the Windows Server 2012 DC on a network range of 10.10.0.0/16.

          Hey, sorry for the misunderstanding.

          I do know how to set it on static in the configuration.

          What i mean is what ip addresses do i have to give to WAN & LAN.

            If this is just for testing purposes set WAN to DHCP and your LAN to whatever you want and then configure your virtual network as you please.
