Multiple LAN ports?
-
So after a few days of faffing aroung getting this installed on an old firebox x700, I was wondering if anyone knows how to set up multiple lan ports. I have one WAN configured, 1 LAN and one OPT1, the LAN is connected to my laptop, and it can get connection to the internt but my OPT1 interface can. How do I go about setting it up?
Many thanks

I assume you have just 1 ISP upstream, so just a single real WAN needed.
OPT1 becomes your 2nd LAN. It should already be assigned to some real NIC on the Firebox.
Enable OPT1, give it a static IP/CIDR to put it in a different subnet to LAN.
Enable DHCP on OPT1, give it some range of addresses to use in the OPT1 subnet.
Put pass rule/s on OPT1 to allow traffic out from OPT1 as you please - e.g. to get going put pass IPv4 all protocols source OPT1net destination any. -
