PuDLeZ Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I have a i7 with 16GB of memory, couple of nics, and a couple 1TB hard drives laying around. I'm wondering if anyone can give me pointers to setting up a virtual router/firewall/etc. I guess the real thing I don't get with esxi is it's virtual networking to make was/lan interfaces and mapping it to VMs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sud0nick Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Have you tried installing ESXi? It's actually pretty straight forward. Once you get it installed on the system you just need to configure it through the on screen menu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misfitsman805 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Well here is my crappy diagram of the overall network/virtual network setup. Reply if you have anymore questions about the setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barry99705 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 You add your other network adapters under the configuration, networking tab on your esxi device. Then you can set which network adapter your vm uses under it's configuration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
