Identical problem I am facing

@audun @cookiemonster. Thank you so much for all the time you are putting in.

@audun I followed your instructions. Just a bit of clarification required here. The fibre optic router gets it's external IP from the ISP as you rightly said. It's DHCP services allocates IP addresses on the 192.168.1.x series. In the OpnSense hardware, should the LAN and WAN both get their IPs from the router in the 192.168.1.x series. And what should their gateways & DNS be?

I figure on the OpnSense, the WAN's IP should be on the 192.168.1.x series  (static) but (should have it's gateway and DNS as the router's LAN IP 192.168.1.1) and  LAN's IP should be on the WAN's IP and it's gateway and DNS as the WAN's IP.

Do I get that right? Please advise / correct me.

Thank you
Neeraj

@audun thank you for the response.



I am afraid I don't know what "normal" is (since this is my first time). I watched an online video and bridged the LAN and WAN on OpnSense, but that work either.

Could explain in a bit more detail?

After bridging on th router, does the cable from the LAN port of the router goes into the WAN of OpnSense? And another cable from the other RJ45 port of OpnSense to the network switch? If so, does the OpnSense WAN get IP via DHCP of the fibre optic router or should i put a static? On the same subnet 192.168.1.2 (192.16.1.1 being the router). And is the LAN required to be put on a separate subnet?

Thanks

@cookiemonster Yes, the ISPs router can be put in bridge mode.

Hi and thank you for the response.

I am positive that the router takes in only optic fibre for internet connection. There are just 3 ports. The Fibre Optic and 2 RJ45 LANs.

Hello All:

I am absolutely new to OpnSense and need help.

My ISP has given an internet connection through a router (given by them) that has Fibre Optic at termination point. The internet connection type is PPPoE.
The router also has WiFi and 2 RJ45 ports and I plugged in a Cat 6 cable from one of the RJ45s in to an unmanaged network switch. IP addresses are allotted from this router to other devices over wired and WiFi and the internet works just fine.

Enters my OpnSense system, which unfortunately, does not have a Fibre optic port, but 2 RJ45s, I am forced to use the aforesaid router.

I connected a cable from one RJ45 port of router to one of the RJ45 port of the OpnSense device (it got a class 3 IP from the router and I managed to update OpnSense but that's it! Just couldn't set it up to get internet through it to other computers, let alone get the firewall working.

Can't figure out how to set it up.

Please help.

Thanks & Regards
Neeraj
