2 Subnets with same IP
-
Call it stupid but I have a reason to do the following: I want to have 2 LAN interfaces with the same IP range.
What do I have so far?-
I have 4 network interfaces (WAN, LAN1, LAN2, LAN3)
-
I have a standard productive network 192.168.1.0 (LAN1)
-
I have a network for wlan guests 192.168.2.0 (LAN2)
-
I have a testing network (LAN3)
-
I am on pfsense 1.2.3
I want to test the complex productive network on the test network. Most of it are virtual machines (openvz). In order to test on a real environment I would like to have the testing network LAN3 to have the same IP range as the productive network (in order to avoid changing so many IPs and domain names). However I need to be able to access one host in LAN1 to query the VZ images by ssh from LAN3.
Questions:
-
Can I have 2 nets with the same IP range with pfsense?
-
How do I forward the ssh requests from LAN3 to LAN1 with same IP range?
Any help is welcomed.

No - you can't have 2 interfaces with the same IP range unless you've bridged them.
-
And if I bridge the 2 networks, I must have distict IPs on the networks, right?

Yes, otherwise you're going to have no end of problems.
