PfSense newbie converting a lab from ipcop to pfSense
-
I need IPv6 in my lab, and pfSense looks like what I need - and I'm very accustomed to running IPCop and the much simpler interface/options that it presents.
In order to start the conversion, the first thing I need to do is add all the existing static IP/host name assignments so that locally configured class B ipv4 addresses will resolve inside the lab.
While searching I see some references to creating custom hosts files to be added, and looking through the online help, I see some vague references to "Advanced: Text entry" but vague is the best description I have for it.Is there a simple explanation of how to do such basic things?
Is this the wrong forum for this type of question?

To configure Unbound on pfSense 2.2, visit Services > DNS Resolver. Click the Advanced button to open a Show advanced option text box. Enter your host entries as shown and click Save.
address=/hostname.domain.name/ip
Alternatively, you can use the Host Overrides dialog to enter your host entries.

I'm on a fresh install of 2.2.2 and I don't see an Advanced button as in your image on the advanced tab of the DNS Resolver.
At any rate, I resolved this with a backup/restore.Thank you to whoever coded that – there are a lot of appliance type products out there without this capability, or like some of the other firewall appliances that I have used in the past that just never worked.

At any rate, I resolved this with a backup/restore.Just FYI, it's not on the advanced tab, it's on the main tab.
