      Wondering if someone can help me out as this is my first configuration of pfsense.  I have a server with 3 nics, I would like to dedicate 2 of them to pfsense vm appliance, and the third is just for my remaining vm's.  How should I configure an additional vswitch?  I am just confused how the vm would be accessable from my vm side.

      Thanks in advance!

        create a seperate Vswitch for "pfsense wan" and "pfsense lan" and assign a physical nic to each.

        the third nic will be the vm management network switch for your LAN and other vm's.
