OneProvider: Network Cards?
Hi Folks,
I am currently with OneProvider and I have a server that has been provisioned with 2 x NICS.
I am running ESXI 6.5
When I log into the ESXi console and run the following command: esxcli network nic list I get the following output. See below
Name PCI Device Driver Admin Status Link Status Speed Duplex MAC Address
------ ------------ ------ ------------ ----------- ----- ------ ----------
vmnic0 0000:01:00.0 bnx2 Up Up 1000 Full 78:2b:cb:00:2b:11 1500
vmnic1 0000:01:00.1 bnx2 Up Down 0 Half 78:2b:cb:00:2b:12 1500
The Link Status of vmnic1 is showing as down.
Does this mean there is not physical cable going into the card in the back of the server? or is there a setting I need to be looking at to get the link up? I need to have this second nic active as I am trying to configure 'pfsense'
Any ideas?
Much appreciated

OneProvider is a reseller, so wich is specific configuration and location ?
Some servers have a shared ILO port, however you should just be able to create virtual nic’s / networks in eSXI for what you require.
I assume you mean Paris location (Online.net).
2nd port on Online.net servers is used for RPN ("Real Private Network"), if yours has no link there, then most likely your server doesn't include the RPN feature.
pfSense is a router distro, you need these exact two NICs why? To route between what and what, your Internet port, and the empty port with no cable plugged in?
