Hi, I would like to use a pfsense virtual appliance to connect real physical vlans on a catalyst switch with the vmnets that exists in a vmware server.
The idea is to overcome the limitation on non-esx3 vmware installations allowing to bridge the virtual machines to real vlans using a single trunk cable between the switch and the vmware host. I would like to know which are the limits involved in bridging several interfaces in pfsense. Actually I don't have a switch handy so I tried the following setup that seemed to work: realpc--vmnet1--(lan)left_virtual_pfsense(wan on vlan501)--vmnet5--(wan on vlan501)right_virtual_pfsense(lan)--vmnet4--virtualpc The realpc and the virtualpc are on different lans, and the pfsense will talk to each other like there was a trunk between them, this was done beacause of the lack of a .1q switch. The realpc and the virtualpc were able to see each other at L2 level. The question is: will I be able to do it on 8 vlan using 16 nic, 8 on the same interface(wan or other) and the other 8 on each vmnet0-7?
