      Hi forum.
      I just bought and Netgate 1100 and are trying to set it up now,

      I'll use the OPT interface for backup, so needing to add a extra subnet which is what the opt interface stands for.
      But after activating the OPT interface - setting the IP - and press apply - and the apply the settings

      I'm not getting the extra Subnet available as configuration under DHCP Server - and have now also been resetting the device - for thinking I've must be wrong in this - but no Subnet area are available on the DHCP Server - How can I fix this ?

      I'm setting this up directly using the https access to the device, but yeah no subnet are able to be configured - khelp on what to do then ?
      Also after an reboot there is still no subnet to be configured ? So what to do here ?
      On all other Firewall of PFsense - I never experiencing this before ?

        You subnet mask is really small and also the default. Try changing it to /24 or something bigger than /32.
