Goal: Connect ESX/Dell to WAN port and use a pfSense VM as the
firewall/vpn/etc.
Issue: Unable to access WAN Interface of pfSense vm (ping, http, https)
Environment:
- VMWare ESX 3.0.1
- pfSense 1.2 Beta
- Hardware: Dell 2950 Server / 1 Broadcom NetXtreme II pNIC (vmnic0)
Network Design:
vSwitch0
- Physical Adaptors (1) vmnic0
- VM Port Group "WAN Facing Network", VLAN=0
o pfSense VM vNIC #1 ("WAN port") IP 8.X.X.244
o Windows pfSense Troubleshooting VM IP 8.X.X.245
- Service Console Port IP 8.X.X.246
vSwitch01
- Physical Adaptors (0)
- VM Port Group "Development LAN", VLAN=0
o pfSense VM vNIC #2 ("LAN port") IP 192.168.30.1
- Windows Development VM IP 192.168.30.5
- Linux Development VM IP 192.168.30.15
- Etc.
1. From the WAN, VI Client connects to ESX
2. From the WAN, can ping ESX
3. From the WAN, can *not* ping pfSense VM (WAN)
4. From the WAN, can ping Windows pfSense Troubleshooting VM (WAN)
5. From ESX Server Console, can *not* ping pfSense VM (WAN )
6. From ESX Server Console, can *not* ping Windows pfSense Troubleshooting
VM (WAN )
7. From ESX Server Console, can *not* ping Windows pfSense Troubleshooting
VM (WAN )
8. Windows Development VM IP, can ping pfSense VM (LAN)
9. Windows Development VM IP, can http into pfSense VM admin website (LAN)
I've tried to debug and troubleshoot but I'm beyond my experience,
knowledge, and wit. Security-wise I've completely relaxed ESX (everything
is very promiscuous).
Thanks in advance --- TEd
