      Hello,

      I'm pretty new to pfsense and plan to buy 3 XG7100 for a dedicated HA setup.

      Here is a diagram of the planed architecture:Untitled Diagram.jpg

      Green VLAN 10 is "Internet LAN", both Firewall #1 and #2 use this for the default Gateway.
      Serv #1 and #2 are ESX servers using NIC Teaming with one vswitch (E1/E0) for management and the other (E2/E3) for VMs network.

      Do you see any error in this scheme? Any particular reason for it to not work?

      For now my only concern is that the XG-7100 does not seems to be able to do STP on the port switches.

      Thanks for your help

        Seems like it might be possible to drop the top XG-7100?

        Run the internet into a switch and do CARP on the wan too. (assuming you have static IP's)
        Or even better if your provider can give you dual drops.
