1 ISP 2 Different LANS on a 4200?
-
I currently have a Verizon FIOS ISP internet feed.
I was thinking of setting up two totally separate LANs. (is VLAN enough?)
Both being a class B non-routable subnet.
Can I have one using igc0 and one using igc1?
Pretty sure that I can set my switches to also pass the correct traffic by network.
Next piece is to see if I can separate some of the traffic on my Synology device by IP. I know that has two NICs built in.TNX

If I understand you correctly, of course you can. You could either use V lands on one nic (igc0) or lan1 on igc0 and lan2 on igc1 in a network segmentation. The choice is yours.
A good thing to look over before you get started is the PfSense book. You can find it on your 4200 dashboard once you sign in. At the top on the right hand side. Go to Help then click on pfSense book. Also on every page in the top right there is a ? mark. This will take you to the netgate docs giving you details, explanations and functions of that page. -
@Uglybrian Thank you for the information. Is there a better/preferred option?

@wc2l Depends if you are using the same wiring.

There is no better/ preferred option. Itās personal preference and network needs. I use both. My segments are. lan, WiFi , iotwifi, and opt4. these are my interface assignments each with their own separate IP ranges. IOT WiFi is a Vlan off of the WiFi. -
Thanks everyone for the info.
Now to make a plan and roll it out.
