<![CDATA[Max number of LAN nics [CLOSED]]]>Hello there,
I'm going to aproach Pfsense 2.3.4 and I would like to know if there is a max number of NICs for the LAN zone.
The simple question is: "Can I configure 6 ethernet cards eachone as gateway for its subnet?"
i.e.
NIC-0 as WAN interface
NIC-1 as LAN interface for subnet 192.168.10.0/24
NIC-2 as LAN interface for subnet 192.168.20.0/24
NIC-3 as LAN interface for subnet 192.168.30.0/24
NIC-4 as LAN interface for subnet 192.168.40.0/24
NIC-5 as LAN interface for subnet 192.168.50.0/24
NIC-6 as LAN interface for subnet 192.168.60.0/24

Thans so much for your kindly help
Best regards
Dario
