Transparent Bridging Firewall

[garyjduk]

I am trying to setup a transparent bridging firewall.  We have a public IP range of 212.xxx.xxx.65 to 212.xxx.xxx.125 with the gateway as 212.xxx.xxx.126 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.192

I'm I right in assuming that I can insert this between our ADSL router and the network switch and I will not have to allocate it a public IP address and does not require any further network configuration?

If this is the case what would I set the LAN and WAN IP addresses and gateway as?

Thanks

The pfSense needs at least one IP so you can reach the webgui. Check out http://pfsense.com/mirror.php?section=tutorials/transparent_firewall/transparent_firewall.pdf how to set it up. The rest of your assumptions are correct.

Is that one public IP address or can it be an internal one?

if you want to manage it coming from an external ip it should be an external IP. If you only want to manage it from another machine in the same subnet like the WAN IP or from a seperate management interface you can choose something else.
