The upstream gateway is the router/firewall shown in the Home Network section of the above diagram. After installing pfSense, this vNIC will be configured as pfSense’s WAN interface, and given the following settings: When creating the VM for the pfSense firewall, the first virtual NIC (vNIC) will be “bridged” to Home-Net. I reserved 192.168.199.101 – 192.168.199.110 for my lab environment to use as external “public” IPs, and I made sure my Home-Net DHCP service was not giving out IPs in that range.
#Creating a domain in vmware workstation for my server 2008 Pc
My lab PC is a tower with a single physical NIC connected to my home network (Home-Net), which uses an address space of 192.168.199.0/24. Planning the Network Segments & the pfSense vNICs The following is how I created multiple “named” LAN segments within VMware Workstation, and routed between them using a VM running pfSense, which is an open source firewall.
This means you become responsible for defining a LAN segment’s IP addressing by configuring static IPs on the VMs connected to the segment, and if you want to connect multiple LAN segments together, you need a VM that can provide routing between the LAN segments. LAN Segments are a great way to create private virtual networks for any number of uses, but keep in mind that you cannot use Workstation’s DHCP features with LAN Segments. VMware Workstation has a feature called LAN Segments. I also wanted my home network, which is external to the virtual lab environment, to emulate the Internet, even though it really isn’t. My requirements were to have separate network segments for Clients & Servers, and two DMZ networks. I wanted to build a virtual lab environment at home that would emulate an office environment. : Updated the installation steps and web portal configuration steps to support pfSense v2.4.
