ANY HELP ???? DVR AND PFSENSE
-
We have installed pfsense 2.0.2,and is working very good.On WAN interface we have DHCP internet network ,which is distributed on LAN with pfsense DHCP server.The problem is that now we need to connect two security cameras DVR ,on a same network and the same users should have access to these DVRs over the LAN.DVR have static IP ,like 192.168.x.x,and there is no chance to change that.We have installed a third NIC on pfsense ,and that is end of the way…it seems to me that we do not have a clue how to move on.I think we need a great deall of help on this ,and if possible as siple as possible ,because we are very new on pfsense.We tried of port forwarding .........please anybody .....HELP ::)

You need to assign an interface to the new NIC. That's what the entry "(assign)" is meant for (under "Interfaces").
The default name for the third interface is, IIRC, "OPT1".
Configure OPT1 (or whatever you've called it) to type "static" and to the same subnet as the DVR. Pick a nice (free) IP address in the subnet. Make sure that "block private networks" is UNchecked.
Add a "pass-all" firewall rule for OPT1.
Check if you can access the DVR's IP address from the LAN. If it works - fine. If not (which probably is the case), you'll need to add a gateway for OPT1. Go to "Interfaces" - "OPT1" and add a new gateway under "Static Configuration". As a name, I'd suggest "OPT1" (same name as the interface). As the IP address for the gateway, use the DVR's IP address.
Yup, that's kind of funny, but it works for me….
