1 Static ip + ESXi
-
Hello, I am trying to configure pfsense so that all my internal VM's are assigned Private IPs using DHCP and can connect to the internet.
I have 1 Static ip which is assigned to the Management Console.
The question is, How do i tell the pfsense wan to use the internet as i cant set the IP to pfsense because i want to always be able to connect to the management console
Here is a picture of my current set up as a network
So, My ubuntu VM can get a dhcp address and i can access the pfsense from that ubuntu vm browser(192.168.1.1).
I've set the LAN part up, but im not sure how to set up the WAN part as i only have 1 STATIC IP and i need that to be with the management console so i can log into it.
Anyone point me in the right direction?

If you only have 1 IP and it's already allocated to your ESXi install then you're out of luck.

I have 2 Failover IP's and i was told i could configure it if i do the following
/etc/network/interfaces
auto lo eth0
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet static
address IP Failover
netmask 255.255.255.255
broadcast IP Failover
post-up route add Dedicated Server IP but end in .254 dev eth0
post-up route add default gw Dedicated Server IP but end in .254
post-down route del Dedicated Server IP but end in .254 dev eth0
post-down route del default gw Dedicated Server IP but end in .254/etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 123.123.123.13–
Im not sure how i could do this in pfSense, tried to find the /network/interface file but cant locate it to add the post up and down routes.
Could i do this using the GUI?
