Brian Sierakowski Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 actually changed it again, cause i had something else come up. oh great..and now my VM wont get an IP :-/ The ESXi server or the VM you created? What networking mode do you have it in? Bridged or NAT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3TeK Posted July 2, 2009 Author Share Posted July 2, 2009 the virtual machine on my esxi server. not sure, where should i look? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopez1364 Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 On ESXi there aren't any NAT or Bridged there are vSwitches (NAT). You have to configure your vSwitch/es to what you want. As far as firewalls or IPtables, not until you get vCenter server up will you get these options. One way of accomplishing this task would be to create or add the pfSense firewall appliance.

3TeK Posted July 2, 2009 Author Share Posted July 2, 2009 i think i'll just throw my hacked linksys with DDWRT in front of this server to run something, then just go from there. cause the only other way i think it will work is if i install CentOS and then install VMserver on top of that so i can run other machines.

VaKo Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Is this a public server or one thats going to be running on your LAN? If its on your LAN, you don't need the firewall, just use ACL's for the management console. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VaKo Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Well configure the console to run on a seperate interface to the virtual machine network interface. That way you can use public IP's for the VM's and a private IP for the console. If the enter thing is being hosted on a public network, then you will need ACL's for the console.

3TeK Posted July 3, 2009 Author Share Posted July 3, 2009 The thing is i only have one private IP, so i guess i could only use one VM on that IP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decepticon_eazy_e Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 The thing is i only have one private IP, so i guess i could only use one VM on that IP? You only have 1 private IP? that makes no sense whatsoever. You need to look up the definition of private IP ranges. You should have thousands.

3TeK Posted July 3, 2009 Author Share Posted July 3, 2009 eh sorry 1 extra PUBLIC IP, my bad, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaKo Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 With one public IP you will be able to have 1 machine hosted, unless you setup a virtual install of monowall, and use that to bridge 2 vswitches with NAT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
