First of all, many thanks for the great idea. although i have not tested it yet, but it looks promising.
I have installed ESXi 5.1 on two HP desktops which have 3 physical network cards each, next i installed WANOS ova, the VM booted and i configured the IP via wanos-cfg, and i also configured the virtual switches as below;
- Virtual switch 1: Connected to the internet router
- Virtual switch 2: Connected to modem
- Virtual switch 3: Connected to LAN for management
As for the virtual machine its been configured with 3 virtual e1000 nics, my problem is that the wan0 always takes the 1st vNIC which is also used for management, can i put the IP for management on the 3rd vNIC?

Hi Abdallah,
You can enable out of band management by adding the following to the end of 'sudo vi /etc/bootsync.sh':
### Out of band management
ifconfig eth2 192.168.2.200 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.2.255 up
This gives the third NIC the management address of 192.168.2.200. A specific route is added to enable the out of band management from the 192.168.0.0/16 network.

Many thanks for your detailed reply,
I'd love if you can connect tomorrow and double check our setup, a TeamViewer access to my machine is fine?
Would you please contact me directly by email and I'll hand you the logon details

Sure, email sent.

Notes for anyone using this work around:
'sudo vi /opt/bootsync.sh':
### Out of band management
ifconfig eth2 192.168.2.200 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.2.255 up
