Title: Question to Aliases
Post by: crissi on December 26, 2021, 02:13:31 PM
Hello,

im trying to create an Alias LOCAL_NET_GROUP with Standard created Networks LAN net and VLAN10 net. Both Networks are available under Firewall Rules Source / Destination.

When I try to save the created Alias Group I get the error: Entry "LAN net" is not a network.,Entry "VLAN10 net" is not a network.

Should it be not possible, to work under the Aliases with the "Internal" created Networks, as I have them available in the Firewall Rules?

Thx!

No, you can't do it that way. You can create an interface group made up of those 2 interfaces and then you'll get a new category of firewall rules that will apply to both interfaces. Or you can create a network alias but enter the IP ranges of those 2 interfaces in CIDR notation.

Thanks for your reply. Yes i ended up creating network aliases, but as the "Standard" created Aliases are already available in the Firewall Rules, it should be imho possible to use them everywhere in Opnsense.
