Switching off the firewall and using only the FreeSwitch package
-
As I understand it, you need two Ethernet interfaces to install pfSense. However, if I install the FreeSwitch package and then turn off the firewall functionality, can I remove one of the interfaces, which in my case is a PC Card Ethernet?
-
To find out if that is possible on 1.2.x you will need to try it on a test machine.
However pfSense 2.0 can run with one ethernet interface that is configured during the install. I tested pfSense 2.0 from a build in the last day or two and FreeSWITCH will install through the package manager now.
-
With only one physical ethernet interface you could at least use VLANs if you happen to have a VLAN capable switch.
-
Or assign the WAN to the NIC directly and the LAN as a (unused) VLAN on the same interface.
(ugly but in this case i think it wont hurt since the VLAN will not be used).
