Any way to share IP range on two separate LANs?
-
I currently have pfSense running fine on my network, but I am looking to make a couple of changes. One of those changes is to add a 10g switch add a 10g NIC to my pfsense and move my TrueNAS server to 10g NIC.
I've added the 10g NIC to my pfsense router and the question I have is, is there a way to add the second LAN and have it share IPs with the one that is already configured. If I set the switch in back of the existing switch I get an IP from the router and so does every other device I plug into that switch. Is there a way to enable that but have two switches connected directly to the router? If that is possible can someone point me in that direction.

@vMAC If you have a 10ge switch and you want everything on the same network - just plug your 1ge switch into your 10ge one.
If you want to run 2 networks then sure plug your 1ge switch into a pfsense port and give it a different network..
Not sure what the point would be of plugging the 1ge switch into a pfsense port if you want everything on the same network.. Do you have over 10ge internet? Daisy chain the switches puts everything on the same network already.
You could setup a bridge on pfsense - but that is never a good idea.
Why exactly would you want to connect these 2 switches into 2 ports on pfsense if you want them to be on the same network anyway? Are you wanting to firewall between them? But have broadcast and multicast on both?

@johnpoz
I guess I didn't think about that. Daisy chain it pfsense -> 10g -> 1g?Best way to convert that just editing the config directly to swap the interfaces?

@vMAC yeah your 10ge would just be your lan.
