vmware esxi bridge mode

[Ruoyu]

Hi

Is it possible to have network configured in bridge mode in vmware esxi?

I would like to have a virtualized pfSense or m0n0wall which can connect to the internet using PPPoE

Thanks a lot

Yes - thats possible - the term "bridged network" is not used in ESXi but you can get the same results with a vswitch in ESXi as you are used to in Workstation

Please, explain me how to do?

I have only one public ip.

As I understand this ip is used by esxi itself.

I have created vm. Now my task is to made internet access to this vm. how to do it? Does I need to have additional public ip?

with only one public IP you would need to create a VM that then acts as a NAT-gateway

I understand this, also I created second virtual lan, set up router (pfsense), which has two network card, first looking to second lan (lan), second is looking to first lan (wan), now I don't understand how to configure wan interface of router, which ip address to set?
