Static Routes or VLANs on different subnets?
-
Hey there,
I am trying to create a lab to reflect a real world scenario. That I have 2 offices, connected via an IPSec tunnel. Both have their own subnets.
Im using virtualisation and for the "firewall server". It has 3 network cards. 1 for the Internet connection and 1 for each office.
Heres the layout: http://img523.imageshack.us/img523/9247/pfsenseoa2.jpg
My goals are this:-
- To have a virtual router where 10.0.0.1. No firewall and no NAT. Packets just pass through it.
- I wont be setting up any routes between the 2 offices. I want an IPSec tunnel to handle that.
How do I achieve the routing?:-
- The top virtual router. Is configured with firewall disabled and routes configured? Or do I configure VLANS?
- Can I configured the VLANs not to allow traffic through each other and that it has to go via the IPSec tunnel?
Hope this makes sense.

Looks like my "virtual" network cards, arent VLAN-capable.
So im stuck.
Maybe someone can suggest ideas?

take 3 PC's that are so old you can get them for free from the garbage dump.
they're not fast but just to test your setup they should be enought :) -
Thanks for the reply.
But anyone else who knows what they are talking about?
-
"Virtual" as in Vmware?

Nice way to insult someone trying to give you some free advice. Perhaps you could have offered some clarification on your first only-semi-comprehensible post instead.

I also agree that it was quite rude considering that "GruensFroeschli" is one of the folks that help people out the most here. See http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,5842.0/topicseen.html for proof.
So please answer my question since your problem report is USELESS!
Is this environment vmware?
