Pfsense as router-on-a-stick

[regis]

Hi all,

I would like to know if somebody here has already tested pfSense in a router on a stick setup (only one physical interface used to do inter-vlan routing, no WAN)

I have seen some time ago a post where somebody explained how to use pfSense as a server with only one interface, can this be done with this kind of setup ?

Or will it surely fail ?

I'll try it anyway as soon as I have some time, because I can't afford a layer 3 switch to do this

thanks for your answers

It can be done but the specifics are related to intimate knowledge of pfSense.
I do not have time to give you a detailed step-by-step for this, sorry.

If you try it and succeed please post the steps here for others.

My suggestion is to wait until 1.3 for this.  No ETA however.

OK, thanks guys for your answers

you could set up pfsense with a WAN interface and not connect the WAN interface to anything….

you could set the WAN on a unused VLAN.
