[backplane switching] recommendation for performance switching between subnets
-
hi everyone,
could you help me about build a pfsense for : filtering,monitoring and switching as layer 3 switching.. i have a problem with that..i dont know pfsense suppport if rate switching about 3Gps or 1 million pps
and help me in supporting Hardware recommendation or other method
I m planning to use 4 NIC for each NIC have 1 Vlan
the VLAN10 : 10 server ( web, sql, domain, dns etc…)
VLAN20 : 100 user ( Lan internal)
VLAN30 : Callcenter
WAN : 60Mbps/60Mbps
Thank you so much and sorry about my English 's not good .Thank you

Curious to hear other answers. My gut says that if you don't need firewall rules between your VLANs, use a good, layer 3 switch. You're going to need things like DHCP helpers, etc. The proper domain of a switch. Create a 4th VLAN going to pfSense and let it firewall your 60/60 WAN, at which it will excel.

thanks for your advice,
so i want firewall between subnets for monitoring, filtering and bandwidth management, what should i do ?
i have to approve some rules from subnets to Server
i could use ACL and port minoring on switch layer 3 instead,is that ok ?thank you

I don't know that pfSense won't do it. You'll certainly have to throw some hardware at it. One million pps? Really?
I'd wait for others to answer or call ESF/netgate.

do you think about pf sense all in one ( routing, switching and firewall ) depend on hardware PC ??
maybe i like sorfware more than hardware, some hardware device like cisco, juniper … with high pricethank you for helping me

I've got posts around here somewhere that say I hit a single-stream wall at ~2.4Gbit/s through my pfSense boxes w/ Intel X520 NICs. That was with 2.1.something though, not 2.2 which includes newer drivers and multi-threaded pf. I'd expect better there. With multiple connections I did better, I think 3.something Gbit/s but I can't remember. I'll redo my tests once 2.2 goes gold.
