Hello, i'm new here pleased to meet you all and the best wishes for 2025!
Question, i have bought a mini PC and installed OpnSense on it.
The lan address of the lan is 192.168.1.1
I have connected a managed switch and it has the ip 192.168.1.100 the two other devices connected to the switch ( a wifi router and a iptv box) have the ip's 192.168.1.101 and 192.168.1.102.
Everything is working fine but when i gave the managed switch an static ip of 192.168.2.1 everthing seemed to work as well.
What is the correct method? opnsense(192.168.1.1) switch(192.168.2.1) wifi router (192.168.3.1)? the opnsense firewall is handling the dhcp leases and that works
BTW i'm migrating to a new glassfiber provider shortly though
