This is something out of pf's scope. You can consider using a bridged firewall setup and enforce layer2 access control via brconfig. Please see brconfig(8) man page. "rule" keyword. > May be if it's not possible using pf, i could use a level 1 switch? > Level 1 switch? I think you mean Level2 switch. Yes it'll be more sensible if you already have a switch that you can define Layer2 access rules. You can resolve this issue with defining VLANS also. To list: This is a commonly encountered question. Maybe we should consider explaining this issue in the FAQ, part 6. Regards, -bdd
