Title: Configuration of the LAN Interface
Post by: spetrillo on November 08, 2025, 04:44:50 PM
Hello all,

For all my OPNsense deployments I used VLAN 1 as the LAN interface. In VLAN 1 I used to put all my network mgmt connections, so if my firewall was breached the hacker would have access to my network mgmt ports. Not good in my opinion. What I would like to do is configure OPNsense so that the LAN interface is set to a static IP but the subnet is /32. I will move my network mgmt connections to VLAN 2, and so on from there.

If this works should I setup static routes to the rest of the subnets being used or just let OPNsense handle it via layer 2? In my mind it should work but then I have never done it and wanted to check with the community.

Thanks,
Steve
