1 pfsense pc with 2 ethernet card, 30ap, 3cable modem, 5 switch(2managed)
-
Hi guys,
first i wanna try to explain what i am doing.we have 3 buildings and our system room is between this buildings.
every building has 2 100Mbit cable connection. i will gather this 6 connection cable in the system room.i will setup 10 access point with a poe switch for every building.
so i will be provide wireless internet with 30 ap and 3 switch to 3 buildings.this 3 buildings' switch cables will go to system room and will connect a L2 managed switch to a for user monitor and bandwidth limits.
and i will put another 8 port L2 managed switch and connect 6 100Mbit cable connection to this switch. thn i will do vlan tagging and connect this
switch to the pfesnese pc.
and connect the other switch to pfsense pc too..i read lot and have ccna but never configure pfsense before.
that is why i wanna ask am i right to this point? is there any missing or wrong information i wrote?and i wonder if i gather 6 connecto cable with a wan load balancer , will it be better? and still can connect it to pfsense pc ?
my main purpose is manage the network traffic(ap requests), limit the user downloads.
thanks a lot
ps: and is there any switch, ethernet card advice for this system ?

So you will have 6 WAN interfaces (100Mbps cable connections) connected on 6 VLANs via a single cable. And 3 LAN interfaces. Are those also to be connected via VLAN or three separate NICs?
What you are describing seems feasible.

yes steve..
if i will try to solve this problem with NICs, i need to put 6 nic + 2nic on a motherboard.. it seems impossible..that is why i will gather 6 wan on a L2 managed switch and create 6vlan and will tagged them..
my pfsense knowledge is on the book right now, it means i never did it before..
that is why i am asking your opinions.. please correct me if i am doing something wrong or missing something.
3 Lan interfaces also will connect to a second L2 managed switch and build vlan and tag. then connect with a single cable to pc.
pfsense pc will have only 2 ethernet card.. is it possible right ?
thanks again..
