Title: How to emulate home style router switch ports with OPNSense
Post by: EasyGoing1 on December 16, 2022, 05:41:09 AM
Hello,

I just installed OPNSense in ESXi on a Techvision TVI7309X which is one of those inexpensive fanless "software router"s from China ... its running quite nicely, but I am curious about Ethernet port configuration options.

The router has 4 2.5G Ethernet ports.

With a typical home router, you generally have one WAN port and a few LAN ports that are all in the same collision domain with minimal layer 2 switching ability.

How can I set up OPNSense so that I can have three of these four ports configured as a mini switch?

Thank you,

Mike
