Configuring Trunk and Access ports on Vmware esxi

Hi All,

Not sure I've posted in the right section. 

I'm trying to setup a lab environment on an IBM system x M3 server. The server has 8 ports apart from the built in 3 ports. I want to be able to connect devices like printer and PC to these ports (access ports)

Here is what I'm trying to achieve.

1. Use PFsense as VM and map 2 ports to it. 1-> for internet and 1-> vlan trunk (340-350)

2. The use the remaining 8 ports as access ports (the untagged vlan being 340) from the pfsense vm trunk port

Just wondering how to achieve this. 

When I connect a switch to the 2nd lan port, I'm able to get the ports as I can assign access and trunk ports on the switch, but I don't want to use another hardware. I would like to use the remaining 8 ports on the server as access ports. 

Has anyone done this type of setup?

Any help on this is greatly appreciated. Below is the visual depiction of what I want to achieve.
