The server has a dedicated Intel Corporation I350 Gigabit Network adaptor with two interfaces which is passed to this VM. The board has to interfaces which are configured below:
- WAN interface -> PPoE
- LAN interface -> Ethernet connection
The LAN interface is physically located on the board near the text written on the metal plate.
Download pfSense+, connect it to a CD-ROM on the VM and follow the installation procedure. Below are several parameters which I have customized during the installation procedure.
