Installing OPNsense OVA image
|
|
=============================
|
|
|
|
OPNsense is available as an Open Virtual Appliance (OVA) package, which can be deployed in various
|
|
virtualization products (e.g. VMWare, Virtualbox).
|
|
|
|
The image is not provided as a community free download, but can be acquired from Deciso.
|
|
|
|
In this document we describe the simple steps when deploying in VirtualBox, other supported platforms function quite
|
|
similar.
|
|
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
Step 1 - Import appliance
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
In the top menu, choose :menuselection:`File --> Import appliance` and select the image you downloaded, it should
|
|
show a dialog like the following.
|
|
|
|
.. image:: images/ova_import_dialog_1.png
|
|
:width: 100%
|
|
|
|
Just click import, accept the license and the image should be transferred to your machine.
|
|
|
|
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
Step 2 - Network setup
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
The OVA template comes with two interfaces configured by default (you can add more later if needed).
|
|
Always choose the right type of network before using OPNsense, the imported adapters might not be assigned to a type after import.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. Note::
|
|
|
|
Please be aware that the order of the network cards in the virtualization product may differ from how they are
|
|
presented to the operating system. In VirtualBox "Adapter 1" seems to connect to WAN (em1)
|
|
|
|
|
|
---------------------------------
|
|
Step 3 - Initial configuration
|
|
---------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The virtual machine is operational now, initial configuration is performed similar to other setups, as described in
|
|
:doc:`../install`.
