Hello
I have a testing pfsense vm running as a kvm.
The issue we have is that the pfsense kvm is not reachable on lan from other then one vlan. so from workstations on a different vlan - pf can not be reached using http or ssh.
all other linux vm's are reachable.

it runs on this bridge at pve:
Code:
auto vmbr3
iface vmbr3 inet static
        address 10.1.10.2/24
        gateway 10.1.10.1
        bridge-ports bond3
        bridge-stp off
        bridge-fd 0
        bridge-vlan-aware yes
        bridge-vids 2-500

kvm net config:
Code:
net0: virtio=D6:8F:E2:6B:B5:14,bridge=vmbr3,tag=250
net1: virtio=2E:AE:D6:93:98:92,bridge=vmbr3

vlan 250 is WAN , and pf can connect.

There is a lot more I could post for configuration from the mellona switches etc - but I do not want to make this post pages long.


any clues on accessing the pf vm from other vlans?

It will need a connection to that VLAN and an IP configured. You can either add more NICs to the VM, or if the vmbr3 is "vlan-aware" you can define the VLANs inside the pfsense.

the vmbr on pve and switch are set to vlan aware.

I tried both add nics and and just defining vlans.

I could have done those wrong. I have tried adding gateways per vlan and not.

I suspect the issue is with switch settings , however linux vm's work with ping and ssh from other vlans.

Question - do gateways for each vlan needs to be set in pfsense?

I'll keep plugging away after a break..
