Hey guys and gals, I have a double lan port nic card I was hoping to use for a firewall vm. The router goes to port 1, then port 2 goes to a switch. My server esxi OS can specify ports for a vm. I wish to have the port 1 as obviously my wan connection and to have everything on the switch have an internal ip but able to reach the internet.
The 2nd port on the nic automatically is setting an internal ip but no internet. I’ve been trying to figure this out and can’t seem to get it. Any help appreciated.
I tried a iommu or other virtualization hardware pass through sharing thing (don’t remember the exact terms) for a WAN port to router vm and then a regular vnic to vswitch and yes, it worked! Butt, I hosed my esxi due to operator error and haven’t set it up again.
