Title: Noob needing help with pfSense
Post by: Offspring on January 04, 2024, 11:59:29 AM
Hi all, I recently got an older machine with 6 10GbE ports that I've repurposed as an opnSense router. I've gotten opnSense installed in a Proxmox VM, and I'm able to connect to it either via IPMI or by connecting a machine directly to the LAN port I assigned. I'm trying to migrate away from my Amplifi Gamer's Edition for a few reasons, but I'm running into two problems currently:

The first is that my ISP requires me to set a VLAN ID of 10. I tried setting a VLAN tag of 10 for the WAN port, however when I plugged the ONT into the WAN port, and restarted opnSense, I got an IP of 0.0.0.0/8 rather than an IP from the ISP.

The second problem is that I cannot figure out how to use the other 5 ethernet ports as part of a switch, similar to a regular router so that I can plug system sinto them and they'll be able to both access the internet through the WAN port, as well as talk to one another on the LAN.

Any help with these problems would be greatly appreciated.

Before we start - OPNsense or pfSense? Two different products. We cannot help you with pfSense here ...

I'm also confused at how their connecting via IPMI to a VM.

It's opnSense, sorry if I said pfSense. I've never used or installed pfSense.

For the IPMI thing, I mean I can access the host OS via that, or I can connect to the Proxmox front end and open the console to access the CLI for opnSense. To access the web GUI I need to go over to the laptop that's plugged into the board and do it that way.
