PfSense - ESXi - vSwitch - VLAN - Cisco
-
Hello,
First off al I'm a NOOB who's is playing around with a RX300 S3 (4 NIC's integrated), ESXi 4.1.0, Cisco Catalyst 2950 and pfSense.
I've followed the documentation on howto create a LAN, DMZ & WAN.
ESXi Setup
NIC 0,1 connected to LAN
NIC 2 connected to WAN
*** pfsense-003.png ***pfSense setup is ( /16 )
10.0.0.1 = LAN
10.10.0.1 = DMZ
10.20.0.1 = PRODUCTION
*** pfsense-004.png ***Catalyst 2950
Port 23, 24 connected to LAN (NIC 0&1)
*** pfsense-005.png ***Hopefully it make sense of what I'm at this point
The goal is to create VLAN 20 for Production 10.20.0.1Questions ?
ESXi
Create vSwitch with no adapter ? And what are the specification ? *** pfsense-006.png ***
Like do I need to specify here 0, 4095 or VLAN 20pfSense
Which adapter has to be assigned to the VLAN20 (a physicall NIC 0 or 1) or the vSwitch3 *** pfsense-007.png *** & *** pfsense-008.png ***Catalyst
Which ports has to be tagged and which none
I do my configuraion with Cisco CNASo hopefully it all make sense what I didi right now and hoping for a answer.
thank you very much

I shall reply this my own :)
Probably very stupid but with Cisco CNA I figured out that I need 2 port trunked so that's what I did and guess what IT WORKS.
For the NOOB people with maybe the same question
Picture off Cisco CNA

If you have no bandwidth problems, then you might leave vlan pruning off. or set it as none
