DHCPs assign wrong pools
-
looks strange too me then… ifconfig sais that the bridge0 is there and is between sis0 and sis2 so it should work i think...
do you know how I can check the bridge functionality in command prompt?
-
Show the contents of ifconfig
Have you rebooted the firewall by chance? How about the client?
-
i havent reboot any oh them… getting ipconfig now
-
Try rebooting.
For some reason my iMac will not obtain an IP until I reboot. I really don't know why this is the case and frankly I'm not interested in chasing it down since its such an easy remedy.
-
here is ifconfig… and im rebooting in meanwhile...

It's disabled. It won't forward. You have a ethernet loop?</learning,discover,stp>
-
i rebooted aint working… and u know that before me lol
what do u mean by loop?
-
It appears you are creating an ethernet loop by plugging the bridged segment into the same switch, etc.
If one of the members of the bridge is disabled then either the above is true or you don't have a cable plugged into the port.
-
yea, i got only one cable unluged… dont tell me that the i need to have 2 cables in in order for the bridge to work?
-
if that is the case then how do i make it to work that i can have 2 independant ports so that i can use eather one of them to be routed to the WAN port? Also if I want to route WLAN to WAN with one IP pool then i have to have LAN cable pluged in? That doesnt make any sense…
-
If all you want is access to the internet from etiher interface simply setup a seperate subnet for each interface and setup DHCP Server.
I've never heard of a 2-way bridge where only one port is plugged in – whats the point?!
-
the point is that lets say we have Wireless router and also it works as regular router… in all "comercial" products we have only one DHCP pool for the simplicity and easy managment... also we dont need to use LAN ethernet port to use Wireless.... in th your product what i amd getting is tha I have to have all cables pluged in in order to use the product with single DHCP.... or I have to set up dferent subnets but that makes my network scruwed up, espesially windows file sharing (because it hates different subnates)
next the captive portal, if I want to run in on both wireless and one of the lan ports simutaniously? normally all hotspots are limited to 1 port, so if you have "internal" bridge or logical bridge, then you bridge t ports togather and put the main port on the hotspot...
Probably we are talking about different types of bridges... what i mean is that i need "logical" bridge where 2 or more ports could be goined to one, its like I connect one routher port to the switch... so that I will have 2 ports and not one....
Did I make myself clear?

Huh? Whats the difference between a wireless router and one that works as a router?!? Isn't that the same thing?

Captive portal will only operate on one interface at the same time.

I still fail to see the point of making two ports one if you are not going to plug 2 devices in. A bridge connects the two ports together therefore something must be plugged into them.
Did I make myself clear?
Nope, I'm even more confused. Perhaps you need to draw a visio diagram.
-
ok here is the diagram of what I want to do… basically it the same thing as D-Link DSA-3200 do...
How would you do that with your product?
-
if you have logical bridge you can do that by bridging LAN2 and Wireless togather and applying hotspot to that bridge and then routing the bridge to the WAN
-

How would you do that with your product?Sorry, we are again at the point where I don't understand you at all :o
That image is even more confusing… -
Can you please draw a correct drawing, what is all this routing and stuff ? Is this all one pfsense box ?
Where is hotspot in this ? is that captive portal ?
I mean, this drawing dows not make any sense at all.
-
aaaaaa…. im gonna kill myself....
ok, lets do that in small steps...
a. what comercial hotspots have u played with?
b. lets say I want to use LAN2 and Wireless withr the same DHCP, but so that one of the interfacesc could be down and another work independantly... how would I do that?c. if I want to have HOtSpot working for both, 1 wireless port and 1 lan port, how would u do that?
-
yes hotspot is captive portal…
the boxes are the ports, either physical or logical
routing is basic NAT from WAN to local -
aaaaaa…. im gonna kill myself....
Is this necessary? If you think you are frustrated then you should take a step back and ponder how we feel receiving this type of behavior.

b. lets say I want to use LAN2 and Wireless withr the same DHCP, but so that one of the interfacesc could be down and another work independantly... how would I do that?Okay, you mention LAN2 here, and below you are going to mention LAN1. Any chance that you can get your story straight?
c. if I want to have HOtSpot working for both, 1 wireless port and 1 lan port, how would u do that?
Turn the wireless router into bridge mode (not pfsense). On a lot of linksys models you can simply plug one of the included LAN ports into the pfSense LAN segment and it does exactly what you're looking for.
Then hook the wireless router up to the LAN port on pfSense. I'm still not understanding how a LAN2 comes into play… If you need 2 lans then simply hang a switch off pfSense's LAN port and plug both of the real LANs and Wireless into this.
