Title: Problems adding a new LAN interface
Post by: ptmy305 on January 09, 2024, 08:55:12 PM
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.
