PfSense 2.0 and Hyper-V 2008R networking issue
-
Hi,
I have installed a pfsense in our hyper-v enviroment. Its boots and the WAN interface works, but neither the opt or the lan interface works.
I use the same (legacy) drivers on all three nics, I have machines working on the VLANS internally on the opt and on the LAN but they cannot ping the pfsense guest. I have tried all combos and double checked macs etc.
What can I look for more?

Try doing an ifconfig <if>down and ifconfig <if>up on the LAN and OPT interfaces via the shell.
for example:
ifconfig de0 down
ifconfig de0 upI have an issue where sometimes they don't seem to come up properly at boot up, it doesn't bother me much as the VMs rarely require re-booting.</if></if>

Hi in this case the pfsense is the dhcp server and the leases falls out after some hours. I think its related to the ARP issues im seeing.

Use the ShellCMD package to run the commands on bootup.
I've got multiple Hyper-V installations across a few locations and this seems to do the trick.

+1 for this working. Thanks.

I have a workaround uploaded that may be useful. It cycles the interfaces both at boot and every time they are reconfigured. I think they were already brought down once in the original interface reconfigure code anyway, but this workaround brings the interface up before bringing it down, which I think helps when the link had gone down.
