23.1 Legacy Series / crosspost on italian forum: opnsense 23.1 and lost connection with multi nic
« on: February 22, 2023, 02:54:27 pm »
I am definitely new to the world of BSD and Opnsense. I bought a Futro S920 (which has one onboard NIC) and added a multi-port NIC (4) to it. I installed Opnsense and configured the WAN on the native port re0. Everything works fine until I start to configure the other four ports. I configure re0 as WAN with IP 192.168.10.100/24, and physically connect it to the router, a Fritzbox. It is configured as a completely exposed host on the Fritzbox, and everything is fine so far. I can connect to the host and configure various options through the GUI.
As soon as I assign an IP, for example 10.168.10.100/24, to one of the other four ports, for example em0, configuring it as lan1 and connecting it to a switch, the machine stops responding, and the only way to make it responsive again is to connect the machine to a monitor and reset the settings (I haven't tried via serial). Can anyone clarify if I am making a mistake or if there is something really wrong?
