        @janiboy You would create a transit network between pfsense and the other router.

        Example
        transit.jpg

        You then would create gateway and routes on each router. And the firewall rules you desire on pfsense to allow/block what you want.

              @janiboy, you would create the new interface give it the IP 172.16.0.2/30

              You have zero need for a /24, but sure you could use it that if you want. But 30 is all you need.

              Create a gateway under routing to 172.16.0.1

              Then create a route for 192.168.1.0/24 using that gateway..

              Create any firewall rules on the 172.16.0.2 interface that you want to allow. if no rules then 172.16.1/24 could talk to 192.168.1/24 but 192.168.1/24 could not create conversations to 172.16.1/24

              You would then need a route on cisco pointing to 172.16.0.2 for 172.16.1/24
