General Discussion / Setting up an IOT LAN
« on: December 08, 2019, 08:17:04 pm »
Hi,
I'm a long-time OPNsense user and am contemplating the best way to set up a separate IOT LAN.
My OPNsense PC has a dual-NIC motherboard. I'd like to add a PCIe NIC and have all my IOT devices sit on this NIC/LAN.
I think I'll set up a separate class C address space for this LAN. I think I should be able to create rules to allow devices on the normal LAN to be able to reach the IOT LAN, but not the other way around. Does that sound doable?
I'd appreciate hearing any thoughts or advice you might have.
Thanks,
John
