phyiscal pfsense trunk to vSwitch esxi
-
@daddygo PF is not a vm. I'd prefer to not have a router as a VM. I'm trying to cut on CPU cycles and other resources if i can just trunk all of it to a physical router.

connect a cable from pfSense to the nic of esxi
I love you bro

@kiokoman I've read that, ESXi doesn't seem to take that effect when you make the change. A bug maybe? my build is 6.7.0 Update 1 (Build 10302608)

it's not an ESXi issue or pfSense - it's just networking

Here is another thing I've noticed. I've edit the network to correct port group that the machine show be on but I doesn't change and shows at disconnected. Samething vlan vlan tagging is working but its accepting the wrong network when it receives an IP. I've tried to reboot the Hypervisor but its still doing this. While writing this I think I solve the issue. I've delete vNIC to the VM and re-added it. And I'm seeing my network get re-assigned, connected and receiving the IP it should be getting. This VM was imported but I don't understand why redoing the vNIC need to make the change. It really sound like a bug with ESXi to me.

I've found the issue. My tagged traffic is not working with pfsense. I don't see that vlans are supported with it.

it’s hard to imagine, as it is supported in principle by PHY ....(
