Is there a maximum number of interfaces with NAT?
-
Hi,
I have a PFSense 2.2.2. I might need to define a large number of interfaces on the box that are also need to be capable of doing NAT. The number of interfaces is about 550.
Is this supported by PFSense? Any best practices, tips and tips on how to configure quickly without doing this manually would be much appreciated. The public IP address can be a pool instead of a single IP if needed.best regards,

No, it's no limited, but you might want to rethink your design since it's gonna be pretty much impossible to maintain via the GUI.

550 interfaces? Into 1 pfsense box? So pfsense is going to be core router for that many networks? That you need to firewall between? Im with dok on rethinking the design, I would think there should be a downstream layer3 switch you have all the 550 networks on.. Pfsense would really only have 1 interface then, your transit network.. Sure it could nat all of them.. But now its just a listing in your outbound nat..
How about some details of what you are trying to accomplish, and we can discuss best way to handle it.. Do these 550 interfaces need inbound fowards, how many public IPs do you have? Do you need to firewall between these 550 networks?
