Several LAN through one NIC and NAT
-
So you want this? If not, describe your network better.
-
quite reverse , all subnets are VLANs go to cisco router (192.168.x.x and 172.16.x)
cisco router has a port connected to pfsense directly with 192.168.0.2 IP and pfsense LAN IP is 192.168.0.1
first problem is that if i set mask on pfsense's LAN to 24 , 172.16.x.x connections are all rejected
and if i set mask too low like 1 , internet routing malfunctions .
i thought maybe i can set VLANs up on pfsense to accept all connections , am i right ? -
Don't know. Draw a diagram.
-
it is like this :
-
So pfSense is 192.168.0.1 and the cisco is 192.168.0.2?
-
yup
-
System > Routing, Gateways tab
Create a gateway, interface LAN, Name Cisco, Gateway 192.168.0.2
Do not check default or anything else.
System > Routing, Routes tab
Add a route for 192.168.0.0/16, Gateway Cisco
Add a route for 172.16.0.0/12, Gateway CiscoSee what that does.
And do yourself a favor and put your DSL modem in bridge mode and let pfSense grab the public IP address from the ISP on its WAN interface.
-
You also want to create outbound NAT rules for those networks. Is this pfSense 2.1 or 2.2?
-
2.2
strange thing is that there is already an astaro device m which works perfectly without any settings.
i have already put ADSL modem in bridge mode, because i don't like double NAT too :) -
Maybe they enabled dynamic routing protocols. Doesn't make any sense that it would just work with no config.
Anyway, you want to add outbound NAT rules for 192.168.0.0/16 and 172.16.0.0/12
