Configure PFSense two LAN different private IPs
-
I'm looking to setup two LANs with different private IPs.
LAN - 192.168.x.x (Switch/WiFi to devices)
OPT1 - 10.x.x.x (WiFi router to devices)LAN for PC, Laptop, Phone, Tablet, NAS
OPT1 for Lights, Assistants, Plugs, camerasWill need the interfaces to chat with each other. (Phone/tablet to cameras)
Any KBs or How to guides?

@tdkryu You technically don't need to use two completely different IP networks to do a project like this. You typed - 192.168.X network and a 10.x.x network.
To simplify it, you can use two 192.168.X networks - like 192.168.10.X/24 and 192.168.20.X/24. Those are still 2 different internal IP networks and they will stay isolated from each other, unless you make firewall rules between the two.
And, to your question of "chatting with each other", all you have to do is make firewall rules on the appropriate interfaces to get hosts to "chat" back and forth, or even one way.

@akuma1x Thanks for the quick response, I'll take the IP config into consideration. So far I've configured the interface, enabled it. Pretty much identical (minus IPv6) to LAN, I may be missing steps. Not getting internet on the OPT1. Do I need to add a DHCP server? Router config in Bridgemode DHCP (will config static in PFSense). Do I need to config a Bridge to OPT1 to WAN/LAN?

@tdkryu Did you add a pass rule on OPT1?
By default all will be blocked.
You can just copy the LAN allow any rule to OPT1 for now, then lock it down as needed. -

Yes, if you have clients there that need DHCP.

No. As mentioned pfSense will route between the two subnets You just need to add firewall rules to allow the traffic you need between them.

@jarhead Thanks, missed that.
