      Hello,
      I can't find where the "Enable shared-network option" option is.
      This option on the old version of pfsense looks like this:
      71b493f7-247a-499e-a418-4d6bc537aa6f-image.png

      Can anyone help me?

      Thanks,
      Roland

        I don't remember ever seeing this option. Could you maybe provide a few more clues? What version of pfSense is this? What section did you grab that screen from? What other options are around that one?

          I've used this option in OS Version 2.0.1.
          This has permit me to configure Pfsense as Layer 3 dhcp Server for remote networks (with dhcp relay on edge)

            Hmm, I don't see anything like that anymore, and v2.x is ancient. It's not considered best practice to run multiple layer-3 networks on the same physical wire, and from my brief reading this option is meant to be a temporary measure. Would it not be better to convert these networks to VLANs? Then they could all have their own DHCP servers.

                Ah, I see. Sorry, I have nothing else to suggest. Hopefully someone else has something to add.
