19.7 Production Series / Manual CLI configuration of interfaces and features

« on: January 06, 2020, 06:44:05 am »

I need to do some testing with few weird configurations that are not possible from the GUI or the console menu. When I research configuration of the interfaces most sites send me to rc.conf to enter the configuration. However when I look at that file it is empty so that means Opnsense is doing it different. Is there any documentation, if it is even possible, on how to do this?

As a side note I do see most of the configuration in the xml file and know most of it is parsed from there and written to the system at boot time. Is there any documentation of what can be added to the xml file?

General Discussion / Dedicated isolated out-of-band management interface

« on: December 17, 2019, 07:46:45 pm »

I tried to search on this but got no leads. More and more equipment now comes with an out of band management interface. I know you can setup a third interface for management but unless it is isolated from the routing table somehow there are issues with routing on that interface and asymmetrical routing when trying to talk to that interface. Is there a way to create an interface that does not participate in the main routing of the firewall?

And yes I often miss things that are right in front of my face so if I did in this case please point me in that direction. This is going into main production next week and I am having to drink from the fire hose to learn it in time.

Thanks
