PfSense and Layer 3 Switch Doing Inter VLAN Routing
-
I have pfSense 2.1 in front of a Cisco 3550 layer 3 switch. The layer 3 switch is currently doing the inter vlan routing. The pfSense LAN interface is 10.0.0.1/30 and the switch interface is 10.0.0.2/30. I am able to ping the pfSense LAN interface from the switch but when I plug a workstation into FastEthernet0/48 it is unable to pull an ip address from the DHCP server on pfsense. I have not created any vlans on pfSense, just a WAN and LAN interface. Not sure if I need to add static routes on the pfsense box. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
On the switch:
interface FastEthernet0/1
no switchport
ip address 10.0.0.2 255.255.255.252interface FastEthernet0/48
switchport access vlan 100
switchport mode access
spanning-tree portfastVLAN 100
ip address 10.0.100.1 255.255.254.0
ip helper-address 10.0.0.1VLAN 105
ip adress 10.0.105.1 255.255.255.0

Hmmm. I think pfSense cannot be the DHCP for this particular setup. For the LAN interface, DHCP server is set to serve only the 10.0.0.0/30 network. No other possible way to have pfSense hand out ip addresses from the 10.0.100.0/23 range unless I create VLAN 100 on pfsense but that messes everything up.

I'm doing a fix fot that. Take a look on bounty topic.
