      I have cisco L3 switch with some vlans
      10.10.1.X/24
      10.10.2.X/24
      10.10.3.X/24
      my pfsense has only 1 100Mb interface, so i want to route traffic between subnets inside cisco, pfsense will route only trafic to WAN.
      pfsense config:
      WAN - int.1 - DHCP
      LAN - int.2 (10.10.0.1)
      Is it possible to create 3 DHCP subnets inside pfsense and set ip-helper to 10.10.0.1 on cisco?

        100Mb interface,

        Hi,

        Most L3 Cisco switches include a built-in DHCP server that you can configure for any of the configured VLANs...

        pfSense can only assign a DHCP server to an interface, just like any other tool..

        which I don't recommend because of port 100 (fast ethernet), but it can be a solution ...
        create VLANs in pfSense and assign a DHCP server

        Cats bury it so they can't see it!
        (You know what I mean if you have a cat)
