dseven, Thanks, you described exactly the point.
viragomann, Thanks to clarify.

Hi viragomann,
Thanks, from your answer I assume I can use the same IP class on the two interfaces.
About why, you're perfectly correct, it's a dirty thing to do,
but the problem is that the customer has no admin rights on part of the devices and either we go the dirty way or we will have to reset them but we don't know exactly the whole figure of this side.

Thanks

24.7 Production Series / can I use same IP class on two intefaces ?

« on: October 28, 2024, 11:19:50 am »

Hi, I'm new to OPNsense.
I'm looking to use it on a customer site instead of the older router.
Just at this place there is a particular case, the router does not support VLAN but the switch yes.
The LAN was already in place with all mixed, computers, telephony, surveillance and so.
We had to separate part of it for security reasons but could not use VLAN at full because the router could not correctly manage the forwarding rules (and the customer does not have admin rights for part of the devices).
I ended up with static IPs on part of the devices and I've created a VLAN path at the switch level
LAN and VLAN use the same IP class 192.,168.3.x, static addresses for the VLAN and DHCP and static for the LAN.
This way they are separated internally and the router could still manage the forwarding ports for both of them.

QUESTION, can I use OPNsense the same way ?
I mean, can I have a LAN port and a VLAN set with the same IP class ?

Thanks in advance
Flaviano
