OPT1 as second LAN interface?

OPT1 Config
OPT1 Firewall Rules
Outbound Nat
OPT1 DHCP Settings

What do you want to do exactly?
With "OPT1 as LAN" you mean to have an additional port with the same subnet as LAN (aka bridged) or configure OPT1 as a different subnet?
I want to the OPT1 interface to act like another lan port, like the deafult LAN interface

Kindly read the comment under the IPv4 Upstream Gateway option.

Sorry bout that guys ….

I removed the gateway from OPT1 but I still cant connect to the internet or ping websites.
Any ideas?

What's that /23? What's your LAN set up like?

Here is the LAN setup
(please note I have never used this software before and am fairly new to the world of computer networking)

You cannot have two interfaces on a same subnet (OPT1: 192.168.100.6/23, LAN: 192.168.100.1/24).
Go read the docs about bridging: https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Interface_Bridges
Set both LAN and OPT1 IPv4/IPv6 to None
Assign the bridge to LAN and configure the IPs there. -

And instead of bridging router interfaces, just get a switch. Bridging does not save a port, it wastes a perfectly good router port.

So I can plug the default LAN straight into the HP ProCurve switch I already have?
-
Sure.
Say your ethernet adapter is an em0. Plug it into an untagged interface on whatever VLAN on the ProCurve you want. Then plug your hosts into untagged ports on the same VLAN on the switch. By default all ports are probably on the untagged VLAN 1 so it'll just work.
-
yeah what is your lan network, it doesn't overlap with that /23 you have on opt1 does it?
Also you have /23 on opt1 - what do devices on opt1 network have as their mask /23.. Are they pointing to 192.168.100.6 as gateway? The pfsense opt1 IP you set. Can they ping the opt1 IP?

Im going to reset the box and start over, I'll upload the configs in about an hour when I get it back to the point it was at (hopefully)

Hi Mark!
Did you solve your problem?
If yes, what did you do?
I have the same issue here.Thanks in advance
-
Your issue is you have overlapping networks?? What are the details of your problem? Are you trying to bridge interfaces like the OP?
I doubt your having the same issue as this user.. If you are having a problem setting up a OPT1 interface I would suggest you start your own thread and post the details of your setup and what exactly your trying to do, and what is not working..
The biggest error I see with users adding opt interfaces is they do not put firewall rules on them, since when they first setup pfsense lan gets a default any any, but when you add an opt the firewall has no rules so everything is blocked. or when they do add the rules they don't add them correctly.
So if you post up your config for your lan interface and config of yoru opt1 and firewall rules and what is not working in another thread - would be happy to help you. But not much can do with a me too type post..

Hi John,
Thanks for your reply. I am really newbie in pfsense. I tried something in 2010 and stoped. Now I will try to set up it again!
Well, for now I don´t want to set up rules for my network. I have nowadays 2 networks in my company.
One LAN1 (10.0.0.x) and one router conected to one point to that LAN1 and provide another LAN2 network (192.168.1.x).
I installed pfsense 2.1.5 in a machine with 3 network interface.
In the first network I connected the WAN link.
In the other two I am trying to set up 2 independent network.
The first one (LAN) everything is fine.
In the second one (OPT1), DHCP is working but I can´t access the internet.My configurations screens below (LAN, OPT1 (1), OPT1 (2), OPT1 (3), OPT1 (4)

That's NOT what's on the screenshots. Which part of "You cannot have two interfaces on a same subnet" is still unclear?
-
Yeah from your screenshot you have same IP on both lan and opt1
Also your rules on opt1 are only allowing tcp.. So dns would never work this is by default udp, and uses tcp sometimes if large queries or like a zone xfer.
If you don't want to setup any rules - you still have to put in something on opt1 when you create it to allow traffic. I would just put in a duplicate of what the default rule is, ie any any. Your rule you show on opt1 would work if you would change it to tcp/udp – but would just change it to any.

Hi John and docktor.
The IP was not equal. The both screenshots refers to the OPT_1 (I only split the screen in 2 pictures)
Anyway, John, the other tip that you gave me (change for TCP/UDP) solve the problem now!! :-)
Thanks for both
Regards
