Pfsense 2.3 and esxi 6 first time install
-
That's the problem I was having I could not get the wan to show along with the LAN when the wan was working it seemed to remove the lan after several restarts they both seemed to appear and the wan recognised my virgin media connection
-
so you have your wan and lan vswitches on different interfaces right? Your not connecting them into the same vswitch
Not sure what you were doing but you shouldn't have to reboot pfsense.
If you had same network on both sides of pfsense wan/lan its going to have problems
-
they were on seperate vswitches with different cards, really not sure what was going on, but they just seemed to spring into life again, hopefully it stays that way, i couldnt even ping the pfsense web gui, but could ping the esxi management interface
-
well your working now, and you have different networks on your wan than your lan right?
-
yes the wan was set to dhcp so it has picked up the 82.x.x.x range my isp provides does that sound okay?
one other strange issue I am having though is I have set the lan dhcp to hand out ip's between .150 and .254 however it doesn't seem to be obeying this and handed out any? any ideas? Thanks very much
-
post your dhcp settings… If your getting other my guess is you have some other dhcp server. Your dhcp client should be able to tell you what the IP of your dhcp server was..
-
it looks like its pointing to the right place, so not sure why the range isnt being taken into account
