18.1 Legacy Series / How to setup 2 NIC Opnsense vmware transparent
« on: March 08, 2018, 07:51:17 am »
Hi all,
I am struggling to setup a 2 NIC opnsense VMWARE setup. I'm running VMware Workstation in windows.
Firstly, I am not 100% sure what the network adapter settings must be in VMWARE - bridge/nat/host etc. I am also confused with what my windows ip settings must be in order to get this to work. Do I bridge the two NIC's in windows?
I have the desktop pc with 2 NIC as seen in attached diagram. I want the WAN side to connect to adsl router 192.168.10.1. I then want to run opnsense transparently so that I can shape traffic etc going to the wireless router 192.168.10.200. the wireless router will then provide net access through opnsense to my clients.
PLEASE can someone help me as I am quite confused with the IP address and adapter setup.
I look forward to your response.
Kind regards,
Quintin
