Proxmox KVM and Pfsense Configuration

brian.huang

I set up a Proxmox server with two NICs configured as two bridges:

network interface settings

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

iface eth0 inet manual

iface eth1 inet manual

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
address 192.1.1.10
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.1.1.254
bridge_ports eth0
bridge_stp off
bridge_fd 0

auto vmbr1
iface vmbr1 inet manual
bridge_ports eth1
bridge_stp off
bridge_fd 0

I then installed pfsense on Proxmox with two bridges activated. I tried to configure LAN and WAN. I could connect to the web console at the first time (well, I didn't know how I did) but later on I couldn't even open the logon page. Please tell me how to configure LAN and WAN to make it work. By the way, I read the book pfSense: The Definitive Guide and couldn't find the foundamental use cases of LAN and WAN. What is the best way to define LAN and WAN in terms of pfsense. Thanks.

after the initial install

using a web browser on the local network connect to pfsense to finish the install.
the default i/p is 192.168.1.1 , login : admin, password : pfsense.

also from the proxmox gui, open a vnc console to check the local i/p address, enable ssh etc..
