On the Enter the WAN interface name or 'a' for auto-detection option, type in hn0, and then press Enter.ġ0. After reboot, on the Should VLANs be set up now option, press n, and then press Enter.ĩ. If that happens, just eject when the VM reboots.Ĩ. Note: Sometimes pfSense will lock the ISO so you can't eject it while on the Reboot page. On the Reboot page, eject the pfSense ISO file, and then press Enter to reboot. ![]() On the Install Kernel page, select the Standard Kernel option.ħ. On the Select Task page, select Quick/Easy Install optioĦ. On the Configure Console page, select the Accept these Settings option.ĥ. Allow the installer to start automatically (default), or press I if you want to save 8 seconds □Ĥ. Start setup of pfSense Community Edition by booting the GW01 virtual machine on the pfSense-CE-2.3.3-RELEASE-amd64.iso fileīooting the GW01 virtual machine on the pfSense-CE-2.3.3-RELEASE-amd64.iso file.ģ. Follow the steps in section Create the Virtual Router VM in Hyper-V to create the GW01 virtual machineĢ. Installing pfSense Community Edition, Step-by-step guideġ. GW01 created with three network adapters. On the virtual machine settings, make a note of the Mac Address for each network adapter. This is so Hyper-V will assign MAC address to the network cards.Ħ. Start the GW01 virtual machine once, and then turn it off again. Connect network adapter #3 to the Chicago virtual network.ĥ. Connect network adapter #2 to the New York virtual network.Ĥ. In the virtual machine settings, connect network adapter #1 to the External virtual network.ģ. ![]() ![]() Create a Generation 1 virtual machine named GW01 with three network adapters (512 MB RAM and 60 GB disk).Ģ. The next step is to create a virtual machine on which pfSense will be installed later.ġ. Connection Type: External network (connected to physical network adapter of your host).Using Hyper-V Manager (or PowerShell), create the following virtual switches (if you are new into Hyper-V, check this documentation on how to create virtual networks: ): Creating the virtual networks (virtual switches in Hyper-V) This also means that in this guide there are two internal virtual networks (virtual switches in Hyper-V), and one external network. In a real world (physical) network you would have many routers, but in a virtual environment where all virtual machines are running on the same host you only need one router. In addition ViaMonstra also have Internet access. In this scenario you configure routing between the following local networks, and also provide them Internet access. For a full IP plan for ViaMonstra network, see. The step-by-step guides in this article configure a virtual router for part of (two sites) the fictive ViaMonstra network. Ami Casto blogged about the Hyper-V NAT feature for Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016 here. Note #2: If you only are interesting in providing Internet access for a single network, you can just use the NAT feature in Hyper-V or VMware, no need for a virtual router. ![]() Note #1: For a guide on rather using a Windows Server 2016 based router, check out this post. The pfSense firewall/router comes with tons of advanced router features, here is a list: In this post you learn to use a Unix-based router, pfSense, which is an open source firewall/router software distribution based on FreeBSD. In this article you learn about creating a virtual router that works with all modern virtual platforms. For example to do lab setups like below:ĭepending on virtualization platform you can use built-in network configurations to route, and bandwidth-limit network traffic. When build lab and proof-of-concept solutions in a virtual environment it's very useful to also have a virtual router to enable multiple networks to connect, and to simulate a larger environments. ![]()
