Anyone have a good guide for setting up pfsense on an esxi 6.7 host and properly configuring it? I'm trying to learn more of the network setup side, I work pretty much just with hardware.
I picked up a Dell R710 last week and have been playing around with trying to get pfsense set up properly. No matter what I try I lose network connectivity on my PC.
This is what I'm working with
Internet provided by Comcast, I have their X-Fi gateway
Dell powerconnect 3448 switch (want to upgrade this to gigabit soon)
Dell R710 server running ESXi 6.7
What I have tried after setting up the NICs in ESXi
Comcast gateway to NIC 0 configured for WAN on the R710
NIC 1 configured for LAN from server to Dell switch
PC connected to switch
The NICs are configured within ESXi, is there something I need to do on the server itself to allow NIC 1 to act as the LAN port to plug into the switch?
I have tried wiping all VMs and installing pfsense first, I have tried installing pfsense after other VMs have been created.
Not looking for hand holding, but a detailed guide would be awesome, all of the guides I have followed fell short.
