How to setup multiple LANs
-
I have 1 WAN and want 4 LANs. In pfsense I want to have WAN (WAN), LAN (LAN), LAN2 (OPT1), LAN3 (OPT2), LAN4 (OPT3). I currently have LAN2,LAN3,LAN4 bridged to LAN so they are able to get DHCP ip addresses but they are unable to reach the internet.
If someone could send me a screenshot or tell me what I am missing it would be very helpful.
Thanks,

afaik right now a bridge can have only 2 interfaces.
You could setup multiple subnets and a DHCP for each interface.
Watch out that you create rules on every interface that allow traffic. -
I guess then my question is how do I setup the DHCP on the seperate interfaces?
and,
How do I create rules on the interfaces to allow traffic?
I am assuming that this would kill the Microsoft workgroup and I would have to do the \servername but I am curious would this mess with my XBox's and XBox 360s for between lan gaming? -
Okay.
I have setup the dhcp on the LAN4 (OPT3) interface. I have given it the ip 192.168.4.1 so subnet 192.168.4.0 (under dhcp).
I have setup the two rules for the NAT and firewall as seen in this screen shot.I am still unable to connect to the internet or ping 192.168.4.1. I am able to ping other PCs on the subnet.

The rules seem ok.
What version are you using?
If not 1.2RC3 upgrade to it. It is the most stable release so far.
I think if i remember correctly the 1.0.1 or so had the problem that if you created a rule you had to restart the firewall for rules to take effect.Just curious: wouldnt it work to just use one Interface (the LAN) and put a switch in front of it?
-
I am using 1.2 RC3.
I know a switch would be a lot easier but then I would not learn anything.
Also I am thinking that having the 2 xbox on seperate lans would help but what do I know. :-\

This has been solved. I guess I just needed to reboot.
