LAN/WAN on the same subnet
-
I'm trying to have my lan and wlan interfaces on the same network : 192.168.1.0/24.

I'm trying to have my lan and wlan interfaces on the same network : 192.168.1.0/24.
Why? Because it works too well now? ::)
Either get a spare management interface or start from scratch with just WAN assigned and configure from WAN.
-
Because i want to ? Isn't that enough ?
The only way to make wlan work in that state is to set it to another network like 192.168.4.0/24.
But this way dhcp relay would give them an 192.168.1.X ip from 192.168.1.102 with a gateway on 192.168.1.1. So connectivity will fail.
And since i can't have dhcp relay on lan AND dhcp server on wlan, i don't have a workign solution.I can probably can set a spare management interface using an usb ethernet adapter, that's not an issue.

Uh, what? Configure a new scope (pool) on the DHCP server for 192.168.4.0/24. Use that scope for the WLAN clients. It works perfectly fine with the AD DHCP.

Yeah, it's a working solution, but i'd prefer having everything on the same subnet.
But i guess i can use it that way and start from scratch another time.

You can try from WAN if you don't have a spare NIC handy. From the interfaces that are going to get bridged, it's basically a no go. Reliably ended up cut off everytime I tried. The console needs to grow a bridge creation feature.

I'll try from wan outside office hours.
From this setup :
WAN1 : re1 (DHCP/DHCP6)
WAN2 : re2 (DHCP/DHCP6)
LAN : re0 (192.168.1.1/none)
WLAN : ath0 (192.168.4.1/none)I should go to this ?
WAN1 : re1 (DHCP/DHCP6)
WAN2 : re2 (DHCP/DHCP6)
LAN : BRIDGE0 (192.168.1.1/none)
WLAN : ath0 (none/none)
Bridge0 : re0 -

WAN2 : re2 (DHCP/DHCP6)
LAN : BRIDGE0 (192.168.1.1/none)
WLAN : ath0 (none/none)
Bridge0 : re0The bridge should consist of WLAN (ath0) and LAN (re0).
It won't let you make a bridge with one interface. Make the bridge with LAN and WLAN first, then change LAN to the bridge interface.
Good luck. -
I know that :)
My question is what to do with the LAN interface which is currently on re0. -
Make the bridge with LAN and WLAN first, then change LAN to the bridge interface.
-
Problem is, bridge0 can't be set on lan interface since lan is already a member of bridge0.
You mean bridge0 on re0? -
You mean bridge0 on re0?
Huh? What? You just told us that re0 is your LAN… See, this is exactly why I told you that you should restart from scratch. (Not to mention how utterly pointless this whole thing is.)
-
pfSense interface named LAN is currently set on re0 port.
Ok, i have my answer :
http://www.stephenyeong.idv.hk/wp/2010/03/pfsense-wireless-bridge-working/Forgot one step.
WAN1 (DHCP/DHCP6) : re1
WAN2 (DHCP/DHCP6) : re2
LAN (192.168.1.1/none) : BRIDGE0 (OPT1+WLAN)
WLAN (none/none) : ath0
OPT1 (none/none) : re0Changes made through WAN and now it's working fine :)
Thanks.
