Title: OPNCentral Installation Senarios
Post by: neilh2048 on July 06, 2024, 12:29:22 AM
Hi All

I'm looking to manage Dual DC's with HA firewall instances per DC (2 x 2 HA Firewalls), I have business licensing for all 4 firewalls, however I ideally want a off host solution for the central management, so not to use any of the production firewalls, does this mean I need a fifth license for the central management node, is this a supported installation path?

Is there any guides for setting this up? as the OPNSense docs don't cover this, only adding hosts to an existing platform.

Any advise is greatly appreciated.

Regards

The OPNcentral requires a business license for all firewalls.

Some people create an OPNsense VM that does nothing except being the OPNcentral "central management" node.

So having one OPNsense with business license doing the OPNcentral controlling, and others that do the routing, firewalling etc... is possible.

If you have more questions I would contact Deciso directly.
