    \n
  1. Create a virtual MAC for the failover IP in OVH Manager<\/li>\n
  2. Add an additional switch to VMware<\/li>\n
  3. Create a VM for pfSense (FreeBSD 64bits), add 2 nics, one connected to each switch (WAN and LAN)<\/li>\n
  4. Set the VM\u2019s WAN adapter MAC address to the OVH virtual MAC created on step1<\/li>\n
  5. Install pfSense using the LiveCD<\/li>\n
  6. Add both NIC\u2019s in pfSense. WAN should be em0 and LAN will be em1<\/li>\n
  7. Once pfSense is booted, set the WAN IP<\/li>\n
  8. Choose option 8) Shell\n
      \n
    1. route add -net x.x.x.254\/32 -iface em0<\/li>\n
    2. route add default x.x.x.254<\/li>\n
    3. ** WHERE x.x.x is the IP address of the VMWare HOST<\/li>\n
    4. Ping 8.8.8.8 (if this doesn\u2019t work, review previous steps)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
    5. In another VM which has as NIC on LAN and IP in 192.168.1.x, goto http:\/\/192.168.1.1\n
        \n
      1. admin:pfsense<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
      2. In Firewall > NAT, Outbound add a rule.<\/li>\n
      3. Leave everything unchanged except Source Address: 192.168.1.0 and add a description<\/li>\n
      4. In Services > DHCP Server, LAN set the Gateway to 192.168.1.1<\/li>\n
      5. Done (almost). You should now be able to ping the Internet from your VMs on the LAN<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        The routes added will clear themselves when the firewall is rebooted.\u00a0 Here is how to make them permanent.<\/p>\n

          \n
        • Install the package: System > Packages, Shellcmd<\/li>\n
        • Services > Shellcmd and add the commands you ran in 8-a. and 8-b.<\/li>\n
        • Reboot and you should be good!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Optionally but suggested, install Open-VM Vmware tools<\/p>\n

            \n
          • System > Packages, Open-VM-Tools<\/li>\n
