SG-1100 Setup Issue
-
Hi all.
I recently purchased a SG-1100. I've setup other Netgate appliances and have my own Dell Optiplex with Pfsense community edition that I'm using for personal use.
I just want to setup the SG-1100 like the personal one. When I login I get a bunch of stuff about Vlan configuration on the interfaces. I want to configure it as if it was a WAN interface and lan interfaces. Everything I see on documentation is vlan vlan vlan. Is there no way to configure it like a normal setup?
-
@packergeek The 1100 has a 3 port switch and uses VLANs to isolate the ports, similar to https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/solutions/netgate-2100/configuring-the-switch-ports.html.
If you have a config you want to migrate, open a (free) ticket and Netgate will convert the config file for you.
Otherwise ignore everything VLAN and just think of WAN and LAN.

@SteveITS Hi Steve,
Thanks for the info. I would like to create a 2nd lan with opt port but I can't seem to find any documentation on how to do this. On the personal one I just enabled the port and turned on the dhcp server on the newly created lan port. That doesn't seem to work the same on here.
-
@packergeek It’s the same. You can use OPT for an internal network. You do have to add firewall rules to allow/block what you want, e.g. DNS. Only LAN has default allow any rules.
-
You can also add the OPT port to the LAN interface in the switch config if you want two local ports for it without filtering between them.

@stephenw10 is there a place to do this? I was able to add a lan dhcp server. But I don't see any guidance on how to do it on the SG-1100.

@packergeek if you’re trying to un-separate the port that is https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/solutions/sg-1100/configuring-the-switch-ports.html

@SteveITS
I ran through all the steps in the guide but it didn't get me anywhere.I run a Dell Optiplex with a 4 port HP nic card. It has wan configured 1st port and 2 lan networks running individual dhcp servers of 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.1.1 on 2nd and 3rd port. That's what I want for this. I have no interest in using a vlan based setup. Do I need to purchase something else or can this unit do this?
-
@packergeek if you want OPT to be a separate port, it is like that out of the box. Plug a cable into OPT and enable DHCP on it.
https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/solutions/sg-1100/opt-lan.html#dhcp-serverThe 1100 is one switch, and uses VLANs to separate the ports. If you want the ports separate, just ignore all that, and treat them as separate ports.
-
Yup the ports are separated by default in the 1100. You should only need to enable DHCP on OPT and add firewall rules.
