I'm new to opnsense. I set up a LAN interface with the static IP address of 192.168.31.1 during the opnsense installation process. As expected, using a computer plugged in to LAN, I can access the internet and the opnsense UI at 192.168.31.1 I added a second lan interface (LAN1 - IP 192.168.41.1) using the opnsense UI. To test my understanding, I want to make LAN1 behave the same as LAN. I got DHCP to work on LAN1, but still haven't been able to get LAN1 to work like LAN. I have the following questions:
1) I cloned the two "Default allow lan to any" firewall rules from LAN to LAN1. But I'm still unable to access the internet using a computer plugged into LAN1. What additional LAN1 firewall rules do I need to make this happen?
2) From a computer plugged into LAN, I can access the opnsense UI at both 192.168.31.1 and 192.168.41.1. But I can't access the UI at either IP address using a computer connected through LAN1. I noticed there's an anti-lockout firewall rule automatically generated by opnsense for LAN but not for LAN1. Do I need to add this rule to LAN1 manually?
3) Why is an anti-lockout rule even needed when I already have the "Default allow lan1 to any" firewall rule?
Can someone please help?
I figured it out. I cloned the rules incorrectly.
