      Got pfsense installed on a ryzen system with two nic without any issue.
      Installed the addons needed without any problem.
      Going out to a tplink 16 port smart switch.

      But want to setup two separate subnets..192.168.1.1 for internal use and 192.168.2.1 for restaurant use.

      Noramlly i read up on it but my ms is causing my short term memory to hold up a sign saying out of order lol.

      Iam guessing this would involve vlans and tagging but just can't get the grey matter to cooperate today.

      any ideas?

        Or maybe slap in another nic and add firewall rule for communication between the two subnets?

          With a smart switch, you could set up VLANs with one interface. However, some models of TP-Link gear are on the avoid list.

          I haven't lost my mind. It's around here...somewhere...

            Thankfully i bought the TL-SG1016DE V3 so it doesn't have the vlan bug.
