Long time lurker, first time poster.
Been running Proxmox for a few years "for fun". Recently wanted to try some different things with my home router (pfsense on bare metal) and thought I would test them in a proxmox VM. My ISP modem has two ethernet ports, and if I plug in into the two ports with my bare metal PFSense router I get two IPs. So, I thought adding another NIC to proxmox, I could then connect that NIC to the modem and use it as WAN on my PFsense VM...... Here's where the problems start!
I followed the PFsense wiki and set up two Linux Bridges in Proxmox. One is bridged to the second NIC and one is just "there" (I can connect VM's to it within proxmox, good enough for testing).
Problem is the nic will not get at IP from the modem. I even tried PCI passthrough with no luck. If I plug the second NIC into my main network switch it picks up an IP from the bare metal PFSense box without issue.
I tried unplugging my baremetal PFSence box from the modem, and restarting the modem, to see if maybe it didnt want to give two IP addresses anymore with no luck.
Any ideas?
