Hi all!

Im wondering how to setup proxmox so i can have a virtual network inside it. What i am trying to do is to create a testing environment for learning windows server and the alike. To do this i need to separate it from the main network because i will be running DHCP and DNS on the windows server install. I plan on setting up pfsense as the routing function in the whole setup since i have used it a little in the past and im slightly familiar with it.

From the research i've done today it appears i would need to do something like, a vlan for pfsense to have as its like switch basically, essentially the LAN connections on the router? Then use my other bridge adapter that i already have and use that as my wan interface for pfsense? Then all the clients would connect to the vlan that pfsense outputting tot that so to speak?

Thanks for your help in advance!
 
You can create bridges (vmbrX) from the web interface without a corresponding "physical" (ethX) nic, so if multime VM are connected to that bridge they are in a sort of "virtual" networking.
