Re: [pfSense] Adding Ethernetports
System completely locked up and denied me the ability to log back in when I did bridge mode. I have to format and reinstall and configure everything. That was a tedious nightmare. I did try using the port as a standalone. I assigned it an ip. Was able to ping it. Plugged in a netgear set to dhcp and it did not receive an ip. pfSense did have dhcp active on this card and it had a range of ip's. I also notice that the range I assigned to this card was being used on my other subnet even though it wasn't configured that way. I'm confused as to whats happening and why i'm having such a hard time getting another lan card to work.

Re: [pfSense] Adding Ethernetports
If you are running VMware then I assume you're running pfsense as a vm. In that case you'll need to add the NIC to VMware the create a new virtual network which can then add to the vm. You'll have to add a second nic and point it to the virtual network. div Original message /divdivFrom: Brian Caouette bri...@dlois.com /divdivDate:09/19/2014 10:31 (GMT-05:00) /divdivTo: pfSense support and discussion list@lists.pfsense.org /divdivSubject: [pfSense] Adding Ethernetports /divdiv /divI added a dual port nic to my pfsense box and it doesn't show the additional ports.

Re: [pfSense] Adding Ethernetports
Finding the hardware list isn’t hard; finding the hardware physically is. Much like RAID cards and motherboards (rocketraid doesn’t play well with a lot of boards, BTW (and not ESXi-compatible either) there are all sorts of things that simply don’t play well together. We just happen to be lucky these days that most hardware works with most others - you just have to worry about the specialized stuff. For ESXi I stick to big name-brand systems, either the SuperMicro boards or the brand servers (HP, Dell, IBM). As for Adam’s earlier comment about searching elsewhere - it’s easier to be slightly helpful and direct then be direct and unhelpful :) On Sep 19, 2014, at 12:37, Adam Thompson athom...@athompso.net wrote: There's also the unofficial VMware ESXi white-box HCL, but it hasn't really been updated since v4.x.

Re: [pfSense] Adding Ethernetports
check dmesg and pciconf -lv. If its not seen at all then try different slots and try to verify that card/slot is working. -lsf On Fri, Sep 19, 2014 at 4:31 PM, Brian Caouette bri...@dlois.com wrote: I added a dual port nic to my pfsense box and it doesn't show the additional ports.

Re: [pfSense] Adding Ethernetports
Your pfSense is running on a VM ... correct? Does vmware recognize the nic? I know some versions of esx need custom drivers for even some intel NIC's.

There is only one slot that this card plug into. I will check those commands when I get home. Thank you. On 9/19/2014 10:35 AM, Espen Johansen wrote: check dmesg and pciconf -lv.

Yes VM. I do not see the card listed there either. I do not understand VM and all the plugs and drivers. Can you point me in the right direction?

Re: [pfSense] Adding Ethernetports
You don't have a pfSense problem at all, you have a VMware problem. Suggest you visit any one of hundreds of VMware support forums or lists to find out how to manage virtual networks. There are also a lot of old threads on the pfSense forum discussing this. -Adam On September 19, 2014 11:28:28 AM CDT, Brian Caouette bri...@dlois.com wrote: Yes VM.

Re: [pfSense] Adding Ethernetports
I have had mixed results trying to find support for hardware that is not on the vmWare HCL and often spend way too much time hunting for solutions. You are much better off sticking with officially supported hardware. That being said, This link may have the drivers that you are looking for ... https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/details?downloadGroup=DT-ESXI55-INTEL-IGB-42168productId=353 Should probably take this to one of the vmware support groups.

Re: [pfSense] Adding Ethernetports
There's also the unofficial VMware ESXi white-box HCL, but it hasn't really been updated since v4.x. Agreed that if this is anything more than a test system, stick with the HCL and a support contract. Been there, done that, have the scars to prove it ... -Adam On September 19, 2014 12:18:31 PM CDT, Paul Beriswill paul.berisw...@pdfcomplete.com wrote: I have had mixed results trying to find support for hardware that is not on the vmWare HCL and often spend way too much time hunting for solutions.
