Rack setup

$150 per hour and you might get some help. Thats a TON to configure and you have provided almost no information to go on.

what additional info would you recommend me incoloding
-
hm, that would be four local interfaces (if NAS can be seen as an interface at all) plus your WANs.
How many NICs does your pfSense have or do you have a managed switch and plan on going with VLANs? -

or equivalent.
but here is were it gets crazy i was wondering if i could have several different dhcp's
Yes. One for every LAN you have if desired.
no it gets complicated i would also like to access my cctv via a vpn to use anywhere
Yes. Many do this.

….which has 6 interfaces.
4x LAN & 3x WAN needs 7 interfaces if my math is right. -
hi there jahonix i actuaerly have 6 quad nics installed
hi there chpalmer thank you for the info but i allredy have a server set up just needing to do the configering -
Hi merlin1,
Since you have the hardware with 6 nic, you can use 3 of them for wan rest for lan. If you can arrange for managed switch (to do vlan tagging) you can create vlans. Then write rules to allow or disallow traffic. I can help you configure.

Did I get that right - 24 ports? What do you plan to do with that, do you have a datacenter in the basement?
Just before this idea comes up here: it is by no means a good idea to bridge spare interfaces to create something that some users think can replace a real switch. It can't.

Seems like a waste..
From your first post this is all pretty basic setup of firewall rules between segments. But you sure do not need 24 router interfaces for such a setup..
What switch infrastructure do you have in play? Because as mentioned already nic interfaces are not switch ports.. Be happy to help you work through your firewall rules between networks - but your going to have to lay out your networks and what you want to talk to what, etc.

unless you have separate your different networks you will have to wait til you have smart/managed switches to segment your network.
