General Discussion / DHCP configuration file

« on: October 21, 2023, 11:50:41 am »

Forgive me if this has been answered before
I'm trying to add manually  50+ static addresses, and I have seen a few forum entries saying how they have done it
However, I just cannot figure out WHAT file I need to edit
If I do a search for dhcpd.conf I get a few files, but those ones don't seem to have the current configuration:
root@OPNsense:/home/javier # find / -name dhcpd.conf
/usr/local/etc/dhcpd.conf
/usr/local/opnsense/service/templates/OPNsense/Syslog/local/dhcpd.conf
/var/dhcpd/etc/dhcpd.conf

Or is another file?
Thanks

General Discussion / cannot access device on physical LAN interfaces

« on: October 19, 2023, 10:32:53 pm »

HI
I have just installed opnsense  ( last version) on a mini pc and my plan is to replace my checkpoint UTM firewall at home, so I want to set everything as the current firewall, then switch over
I got a separate Internet connection ( for a week - until is disconnected), so wanted to connect get teh software updated and test the connections on the second link, just with one PC
I basically just set a wan, opt1 and lan interfaces , and if I connect the lan or opt interface to my lan ( via a switch), I can access the opnsense box no problem
However, if I connect a computer to the opt1 or lan interfaces directly, I simply cannot even get an ip address ( if using dhcp) on my laptop
I even tried to use a switch to connect to the port, al to no avail
Tried 3 computers - linux and windows and on Linux the link goes up, and then I get a "activation of network failed" message after a few minutes
Currently there are just the basic  - any -any  - firewall rules, so don't believe the firewall is the culprit
I'm a relatively experience network guy, so I am completely confused

It is as if at layer 1 ( physical) , or  2  ( data link) something is failing

Any help wil be appreciated
