[SOLVED] Bridged connection - new rules?
-
I had WAN + LAN configured. With a few rules on the LAN interface (anti-lockout rule, etc).
Now I have added a WIFI interface and made a bridge.I now have: WAN, LAN, WIFI, LAN_PORT
WAN = re0
LAN = bridge (WIFI + LAN_PORT)
WIFI = at0
LAN_PORT = re1The rules that are on the LAN interface (which is now a bridge) do not work anymore.
I have to re-add the same rules for WIFI and LAN_PORT.Is that normal behavior?
I though that every rule I set for LAN will work for WIFI + LAN_PORT because they are bridged. So you set the rules for the bridge.
But that is not correct, right? -
You have to move over the rules from the old interface to the bridge.
Just go to edit each rule, and select at interface, the new bridge interface. -
Thanks for the help.
But that's not possible. The bridge cannot be selected.
-
You should ask yourself WHY did you make that bridge in the first place. Not needed, not wanted mostly, pain to switch assignments to on a configured system.
-
Why I made the bridge?
Because I want it to be a part of my network?My MacBook Pro (which I use 8 - 10 hours a day) does not have a RJ45 connection, only wifi.
It needs to be able to connect to other devices (NAS, other computer) on my wired network.If you know a way to do this without the bridge, please do tell me!
I will create a seperate wifi network for guests, which of course will not be a part of my main network.

That works out of the box. Nothing to be done there except a dead simple one firewall rule to allow traffic, same as the default one on LAN. (If you want the Bonjour nonsense, then install Avahi package.)
-
Hmmm oke.
But if I do that I would need a 2nd DHCP server for the wifi interface right?
That will than serve a different range than my LAN interface? -
DHCP server is configured per interface, yes.
-
Ok, but what if I want them all on the same subnet?
-
We are going in rounds. Bye.
-
Huh?
That's a bit rude imo.
I'm not being a smart ass here I just want my box to work the way I want.Wired and wireless on the same subnet, I guess I need bridging for that.
So that's why I set it up.Sorry if I'm not at your level of expertise.
I'm still a newbie here and trying to learn.
But with replies like "We are going in rounds. Bye." it's kinda hard to learn things… -
I have fixed the problem myself.
Following THIS guide here on the forums fixed my problem.
I can now set the firewall rules on the bridged interface (=LAN) and they are used by all members of that bridge.
