Hello all,
New to the home lab world and looking for support on router virtualisation.
I have a number of VMs running happily on my new ProxMox host for many weeks before decding to try the router virtualisation path.
Purchase a X540 dual NIC - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01ISV7TYM?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1
Then many YouTube videos later I have managed to create and setup both pfSense and OPNsense (not at the same time).
Each has been able to allocate a DHCP address to a desktop VM connected to the LAN port but when I connect a switch and physical device (or just directly connect a physical device) to the new LAN NIC on ProxMox host no DHCP is issued. Even when using static IPs on the physical side no connectivity is possible to the virtial router.
Linux Bridges are both set to "VirtIO (paravirtualized)" and have firewalls disabled.
Given the issue is the same for both router OS versions, I am wondering if my NIC may not be fully supported by ProxMox or maybe I've missed something at the hypervisor level?
