Re: [pfSense Support] how to manage 2 subnets for LAN ?
Hi, Le Thu, 18 Nov 2010 15:16:24 -0700, David Burgess apt@gmail.com a écrit : In that case you can add an alias to the LAN interface. IIRC, you just run ifconfig appending 'alias' to the end. Don't quote me on it though. Get that working, then use shellcmd to make it stick across reboots. You will also want to check the box in the UI to supress arp errors in the logs. I saw the http://doc.pfsense.org/multiple-subnets-one-interface-pfsense.pdf but I was doubtful about how well it's supported in PfSense :-/ vlans are still the preferred method if your radios support it. What brand are you using? We have a mix of old and newer hardware, from Cisco, Linksys (WRT54GL), and trying also Ubiquity. I'm not sure all these wifi routers can manage VLAN, but I'll look at this. I was thinking about the other solution, pluging another nic of the Pfsense (Alix) on the same wire (with a switch) and allocating each nic a different subnet.

[pfSense Support] how to manage 2 subnets for LAN ?
Hello PfSense masters, I'm using successfully PfSense to manage the access of a wifi network providing Internet to my village. At now, we have a simple setup on the LAN side where all backbone network (antennas) and connected people shares the same subnet, for ex : 192.168.1.0/24 : WanLan,)Ant -- client 1 DSL Line --- PF Ant(- -)Ant -- Ant(- -)Ant -- client 2 `)Ant -- client 3 The antennas have a static IP address, and PfSense is giving dynamic ones to clients through DHCP server. We'd like to separate IPs of bacbone antennas from client ones, for example 192.168.1.0/24 for antennas and 192.168.2.0/24 for people. How this could be done ? At first, I thought about adding a second IP on the LAN interface, but I didn't found how to do this in the web gui, and looking at the PfSense's archives, it looks like it's not supported (perhaps a design choice ?). As we use an Alix 2d3 board with 3 ethernet interfaces, there is one free at now : could we use this OPT interface to manage backbone network, with an address in its subnet 192.168.1.0/24, and put an address from 192.168.2.0/24 subnet on the LAN interface to serve clients, provided these two LAN and OPT will be connected through a switch to the first antenna of the backbone where all traffic is passing ? Thanks for any remark or suggestion about this scheme, With regards, Fred. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: support-unsubscr...@pfsense.com For additional commands, e-mail: support-h...@pfsense.com Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org

I think you want a managed switch that has vlan support. You can then use the 3rd port on the alix for connecting all the vlans. The different LAN subnets' trafic aren't VLAN tagged, and all traffic comes from one Ethernet port (from the nearest antenna), so I don't understand how VLAN could be used there ?
