      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

          There might be an upper limit in the FreeBSD operating system for the number of configured network interfaces but I bet it's in the order of thousands at least.
