Hardware and Performance / Re: Poor upload trough Firewall

« on: November 05, 2024, 03:10:29 pm »

Hi,

Did you find a solution ?

I'm facing the same problem with upload bandwidth but with 2.5Gb down / 700Mb up
I'm trying to host a service but the upload bandwidth ruins it.

Thank you very much Patrick.
It worked very well.

Coming from Cisco environment, I'm not familiar with software managed vlans

Hi M. Hausen

Thanks a lot for your answer. I can't wait to try this.
Now I need to configure the trunk port on the Openwrt access point side. 
However, I have one last little question if that's ok with you.

In this diagram (updated), is it possible to have a management IP on the openwrt access points in the same range as the LAN so i can manage them from the LAN ? example 192.168.30.1 & 2.

If yes, how ?

- I thought about creating a bridge between the "LAN bridge" and the "VLAN bridges"... but I'm not too sure of the result and afraid of multiplying the broadcast domains

- Or create 2 /30 networks on trunk's parent interfaces (this would be an untagged trafic)

- Or simply add  trunk's parent interfaces to the "LAN Bridge" ?

General Discussion / Home network with OPNsense & no managed switches

Hello,

I am new to the Opensense domain. I am exploring it and quite like it so far.
Currently, I have a router provided by my ISP, which I want to replace to enhance the security of my home network.
Attached, you will find the network diagram I have envisioned.
I aim to achieve the best energy efficiency, which is why I prefer not to add more network devices (e.g., no managed switches).

I have attempted to configure Opnsense to implement this infrastructure, but I have realized that Opnsense is not well-suited for managing VLANs, as it is not a switch.

I am posting on this forum to see if anyone has a similar infrastructure setup that I want to create and to find out if it is possible or not.

Thank you very much.
