    Enabling passthrough for the Internet NIC and connecting that to the router VM will give you a better performance I pressume.

    As always, you make great videos, only the first part of the description was in a noisy environment!
    Be kind

    i already have 2 internet connections from different isp and 2 pfsense routers in failover/loadbalance configuration

    and then 1st router fails 2nd will be ready to work almost immediately

    If you use the epon/gpon modem from ISP, that you could try connect more than one 1G ethernet from modem to your server/router, set linux port LAG or binding to get more than 1G link speed from modem to router WAN port when use pppoe client in the Esxi Server VM RouterOS/OpenWRT with binding port. most time ISP will add little more speed rate in their modem link speed, like 1.1G or 1.2G.

    In your (ONT?) adapter, where is the fibre connected? As you said, it looks like it's just you RJ45 and power, with what looks like a coaxial port on the bottom left. (Oh, unless it's powered via PoE? and the connection on the right is the fibre? )

      Fiber comes in through the tiny white cable channel on the left of the box.

    whats the Performance like with that method you used? have you ever thought about PCI-E Pass Through and have LAGG/LACP configured to your 10G Switch and put WAN in a VLAN ? that way you can have more bandwidth in and out along with VLAN configuration

    • @MyPlayHouse
      @MyPlayHouse  3 роки тому

      For my needs,, it is way fast enough. I do "only" have 1Gbit Internet, so no reason to go to 10Gbit yet :-)

  • @gonace
    @gonace 3 роки тому +1

    I'm guessing that the "modem" is a simple switch with VLAN support? Since modem stands for (modulator-demodulator) and is used to connect digital equipment to an analog connection.

    • @MyPlayHouse
      @MyPlayHouse  3 роки тому

      It might be more of a router, then a modem,, there is no analog.

  • @krebosh
    @krebosh 3 роки тому +3

    Why not create a VLAN for WAN on the 10Gb switch and make a trunk from it to the server? Much easier imo to have a dedicated VLAN for WAN access if you need to move pfsense to another host or preferably make a cluster.. not very fun having a virtual router on a single host when issues occur.

    Hi, wouldn be simpler if you just pass the network card through to the Pfsense vm? In that way the router can directly use it and there wont be any overhead because of the virtual switch thing.

    This maybe an dumb question but do you still need a switch if you are already connected to vrouter?

      It's not that dumb,,,, I could do most of what I do without an external switch,, it's mostly to be able to switch server on the fly,, witch I really never do.

    Hi Morten!
    I have a server but with a 4G LTE router at home.
    I would like to purchase a licensed vrouter.
    And this vrouter will install on ESXI.
    After installing on ESXI what do you do?
    create a vswitch?.
    The vrouter connects to the physical router, but can I take advantage of the bandwidth speed of the vrouter?, Example the vrouter that I bought with the license is 50 megabits.
    Can I take advantage of all that speed without affecting the physical router that I have is 4G LTE?
    or you have to have the physical router to work the vrouter?. I hope you understand what I mean.
    Then the vrouter I would like to connect two virtual machines with vmware workstation you can or it depends of the vrouter if it is compatible?
    Thanks if you can give me some help.

    • @MyPlayHouse
      @MyPlayHouse  2 роки тому

      Install ESXi, make vswitch, and make a virtual router,, like PFsense.
      A virtual router is vay more powerful than a normal physical router (the cheep home ones)

I used to get them through a program with my work and this has since stopped but my Vcenter / ESXi license expires end of the year. Love to keep them going if i can.

    • @LuukIsbouts
      @LuukIsbouts 3 роки тому +1

      It is possible to create vlans on a PFSense VM. You need to connect the LAN port of the PFSense to a trunk portgroup in VMware. If you choose VLAN id 4096 the portgroup becomes a trunk in VMware ESXi. In vCenter you can simply select ‘port trunking’ on your portgroups.
