I do not have a switch, but the ASUS router has 4 interfaces.
The router can be set into "AP mode" (I guess the interfaces still work afterwards).

But if I do this - will the traffic between clients then have to cross the OPNsense appliance or does traffic flow within the switch (ASUS router/AP)?
I will be using latency sensitive services such as game streaming within the LAN and want the shortest route possible.

General Discussion / Setup for home

« on: October 25, 2017, 04:33:37 pm »

Hi

I have recently acquired an OPNsense appliance for my home network.
My setup will be: Internet -> Fiber modem -> OPNsense FW -> Router -> LAN.

My Router is an ASUS rt-ac68u - how should I configure this device, so that I am able to create (OPNsense) firewall rules based on the originating client(s) from the LAN:
- Will NAT need to be disabled on the WAN-interface (of the router)?
- and should I disable the built-in firewall?
- any other things I should look out for?

• The router will control DHCP, Wireless, and internal routing.
  
• OPNsense appliance will control FW rules, VPN-server (and other services).

Regards,
Soren

15.1 Legacy Series / OPNsense hardware - access bios

« on: January 30, 2015, 11:57:52 am »

Hello

I am not sure if this is the right forum regarding OPNsense hardware, but I will try anyway.

We have 2x Sense Quad Core Gen2: http://goo.gl/bOZtmC
Both seem to have defective pfsense so we would like to reinstall pfsense v. 2.2.

How do we access BIOS/bootmenu through serial connection?

I have created a bootable USB with pfsense 2.2 with Win32DiskImager, but when I plug it into the OPNsense box and connect though serial it just starts up with the already installed pfsense.

Regards,
Soren
