Trying to have two subnets
-
I dont have anything set to 192.168.5.x…
I have one subnet at 192.168.2.x and one at 192.168.1.x
My virtual machine is using 192.168.1.101. My box that Im connecting with is at 192.168.2.36. If my box uses 192.168.1.36 as well as 192.168.2.36, it works fine. IM trying to figure out a way, without a second router, to use just the 192.168.2.36 ip and still reach the 192.168.1.101

inzel,
Sorry, I swapped info with another post.
what vlan ids did you applied to pfsense interface?
You should get something like this to have both vlans working and wan as well
LAN (lan) -> bce0_vlan10 -> 192.168.2.1
WAN (wan) -> bce1_vlan20 -> x.x.x.x
opt1 (opt1) -> bce1_vlan30 -> 192.168.1.1 -
I created two new interfaces that are tagged to a vlan
WAN rl0 (mac)
LAN bge0 (mac) –-> 192.168.2.1
External_LTM bge0 vlan421 --> 192.168.1.1
Internal_LTM bge0 vlan420Im not worried about the internal interface at the moment... that is going to be behind a load balancer. I just need to hit the External_LTM
-
The lan interface attached to bge0 must be tagged to.
The default switch vlan on most switches has id=1
configure it to
WAN rl0 (mac)
LAN bge0_vlan1 (mac) –-> 192.168.2.1
External_LTM bge0_vlan421 --> 192.168.1.1
Internal_LTM bge0_vlan420and see if it works

HHmmm… how do I do that? As soon as I tag it, I lose my lan connections. Is there something special to do inside pfsense?
-
Do it from pfsense console but you may have to setup all(3) vlans again.
-
Ok…. I want to clarify what I mean when I say I lose lan connections... I mean that I am unable to rdp into a box from outside when I do that... Ill try it from the console and recreate the vlans. Should I create the LAN vlan first?
-
I am unable to connect via console… since I dont have a serial port or a serial cable. I deleted the vlans and recreated them, starting with vlan 1 and assigning it to the LAN interface. No luck. I ended up creating all of them again and Im back to where I was before
-
From outside, you will need to Allow access from external ip to pfsense gui at wan address to configure lan interface.
But if have access to vlan1 untagged, you will need first to edit switch port pfsense lan is conected to and tag default vlan or set it as trunk.
Also check the id number for default vlan.Do it carefully to do not loose access.
In short:
Access gui from wan
Edit switch config to tag all vlans you need
assign lan to It's vlan id. -
Thank you for taking the time to help me out with this. It seems that I need to do some reading because I dont know where to change the switch config in the gui. I do have access to the gui from wan tho. I will look in to that further and try to educate myself more before I ask any further questions.
Thank you again for everything so far
