PfSense w/2 LAN interfaces for AP bridging?
-
I have a LAN with multiple WiFi access points acting as APs (WAP). My pfSense is the LAN DHCP server currently handing out an address range of .200-.250 to devices on the LAN interface (192.168.1.1) which includes client on the WAP1 (grey box). I was hoping I could add a second LAN interface to pfSense and be able to hand out a different address range to clients coming in from the second WAP (pink box) through to the 2nd pfSense interface (192.168.1.2). Is this even possible? If not, how might I distinguish clients on WAP1 vs WAP2 without having separate subnets?
EDIT: for example, I would want a laptop that can switch between 2 different WAP and get 2 different IP addresses. If the laptop connects to WAP1, it would get an IP address from the first DHCP pool, but if it connects to WAP2, it would get an IP address from the second DHCP pool.
END GOAL: I want a device to be able to easily switch between a VPN and not VPN connection by simple changing the WAP it connects to

I did find this thread that speaks of the bridged LAN interface configuration I need. That looks like that's what I'm looking for.
Now the trick to get DHCP to assign a different scope from devices in the pink box.

I've determined I needed to do this with VLANS. Here is an excellent reference that really help me get things configured.
