Thanks for the tip on vmxnet 3 vNICs. I'm planning to use the 4x1g copper cards that come with the servers for now, until I have the funds to upgrade to 10g. I'm planning a 2x1g LAG for external and DMZ VLANs and a 2x1g LAG for internal VLANs.

Hardware and Performance / Sizing for Gig on ESXi
March 28, 2019, 04:02:10 AM
I'm building a pair of Dell R620 ESXi 6.7 hosts for my home lab and plan to run redundant Opnsense VMs. I need to size the VMs to support Gig throughput with IDS, AV, Netflow, etc for a handful of internal and DMZ networks with 5-10 active users and roughly 100 IP devices.
I'm thinking 4 cores, 8 GB RAM, and 250 GB SSD should be plenty. Does that seem right?
