Initially, you should only have two interfaces - one WAN and one LAN. When asked after reboot, I tend to answer no about creating VLANs so I can instead do it via the web interface. The pfSense install should be fairly straightforward. don’t do anything with VLAN assignment on the Proxmox hardware allocation settings. These devices correspond to the bridges above. Unless you need physical interfaces, you only need two regardless of how many VLANs you are going to configure, i.e. Here are the settings I used, but the important ones in relation to this discussion are the two network devices. Thus, you need to click ‘Add’ to add another network device/interface afterward. You can only select one interface during the initial wizard setup. Only vmbr4 uses VLANs so it is the only interface that is VLAN aware.Ĭreate your pfSense VM as you normally would through the ‘Create VM’ menu. As mentioned previously, the bridges correspond to their physical interfaces. This is what my basic network setup looks like. Though not required, if you need to manage Proxmox via the interface, then enter the necessary IP address information. Last but not least, you also need to click ‘VLAN aware’ on the bridge. I chose to have the bridge number the same as the physical interface number to help maintain my sanity. Note the bridge port corresponds to a physical interface identified above. The name for bridges must follow the format of vmbrX with ‘X’ being a number between. Go to create, Linux Bridge, and at a minimum fill out the name and bridge port as shown below. In order to create VLANs within a VM, you need to have a Linux bridge. As you can see, this particular server had 4 physical interfaces (eno1-4). These steps should work for Proxmox 5.2 and beyond.Ĭlick on the primary Proxmox “node” (known as a “host” in VMware-land). The kicker is that it is *really* simple. One source said to do it this way, another said something completely different. I found this out when trying to virtualize pfSense and I was playing around with VLANs. While Proxmox is growing on me, the documentation is a bit on the short side and/or in many cases flat out wrong because it has changed so much. In many ways, it is an open-source version of ESXi for VMware. Proxmox is a server virtualization management platform.
