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 :
Wan Lan ,)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.
