Hello,

 

do you have a Layer 2 connections between the buildings?

 

If, I think there are two possible options  

 

1.       Creating a Transport LAN to connect the buildings

In this case you have to create a new Interface on both sites. 

You can create a small subnet 10.0.254.252/30 to interconnect the LAN.  In
this way you can use static routing

 

2.       Creating a Transport LAN with failover

I think a other option is to create the transport LAN and use a dynamic
routing protocol to interconnect the LANs on booth site. In this case you
can use the IPsec connection as a backup link. 

 I think this solution will work with OSPF, you can install  on pfSense.

 

If you have questions just let me know.

 

Regards

Betreff: [pfSense Support] Linking 2 Building without VPN

 

Hello,

 

I have 2 building each with multiple networks.  They are currently joined
via an IPSec VPN.

 

Building A is 10.0.0.0/24 and 10.0.1.0/24

 

And

 

Building B is 10.0.2.0/24 and 10.0.3.0/24

 

Right now I have a 10 Mb/s link to the internet in building A and a 100 Mb/s
link in building B so I have an IPSec vpn tying 10.0.0.0 to 10.0.2.0 and
10.0.3.0 and the same for 10.0.1.0

 

Now I have just been provided a 20 Mb/s dedicated patch cable between the
two buildings (this wire has no services on it but is essential a 30 KM
patch cable).

 

What is the best way to utilize this new "Patch Cable" to take the place of
my current IPSec VPN links?  If need be I can add interfaces to the 2
pfSense boxes or just make configuration changes.

 

Thanks.
