Quad NIC and Separate Interfaces Guest Network
-
I've been googling the crap out of this and cant find the answer.
I have a quad intel NIC in my pfsense box. Configured now as one WAN and one LAN. I have 2 extra ports. Id like to connect a AP for guests and setup one of the extra NIC ports as a guest network. Will this separate those two networks? Will they be unable to see each other and will it be secure (secure being a relative term in computers)? Its the same hardware so that's my concern.
Thanks.

Its the same hardware so that's my concern.
You can configure additional interfaces for guest and use firewall rules to avoid traffic among LAN - AP - Guest, while allowing all of them to access internet.
Regarding being on the same hardware, unless you work at a spy agency you should be fine… just limit access to admin features on your box to LAN network.

Thank you for the response. I'll move forward with that solution. I'm sure I'll learn something in the process.
Cheers.
