There is any solution to access/ping 192.168.20.1 from my computer as well or I don't understand how the thinks are working with OPNSense?

Ping interfaces is default network functionality, nothing OPNsense special:

- What is the status of the LAN2 interface when you try to ping it ? In Interfaces: Overview, what is the "Status" of LAN2: Red or Green ?

- If it's Red, is LAN2 connected to some network device that's powered on Switch / PC ?

It is Red because I did not inserted any cable in LAN2. I thought that I can ping the interface

Because that's how it's implemented in FreeBSD.

Not very "user friendly" if you ask me  ;D

Changing, switching, so many actions for just a silly bridge  :(

Hi!

I don't understand something, being a 5 days newbie to OPNSense, maybe someone can explain to me.

Let's say that I have a minipc with two lan interfaces (lan1, lan2), we don't talk about wan, only lans.
One cable between my computer and LAN1 plug of the minipc...

minipc interfaces:
LAN1 192.168.10.1
LAN2 192.168.20.1

My computer's IP 192.168.10.2.
From my computer, I can access the router's GUI and change all the settings.
If I ping 192.168.10.1 it is working.
There is any solution to access/ping 192.168.20.1 from my computer as well or I don't understand how the thinks are working with OPNSense?
If there is any solution, please share to me. In rules, I passed everything to everything for both interfaces, in the firewall rules:     

Code Select Expand

IPv4 * * * * * * * Default allow LAN to any rule

Thank you in advance!

I understand.

I was thinking that my configuration will be easier in the future, when maybe I want to get rid of the bridge and use all the ports separately. Not switching the ports everytime, and so on... and then the identifier which is not matching the name I want...

Hi!

I am trying to learn more of this opnsense and I got into an issue, in fact, it is not an issue, it is more a question about why that and not that. I just installed opnsense for the first time, yesterday, so please, don't take me hard

I have a minipc with 6 ports (1 for wan, 5 as lan) and I want to use it as a standard router (1 wan port and the other 5 LANs as bridge)

Looking on the internet, everyone say that the proper way to do this, is to assign and enable all the interfaces, then go and create the bridge with all the opts lans except the "LAN" port, then change the LAN interface port to BRDIGE and so on...  But why is this? What is the difference between making this and doing it like I done?

What I done and it is working, I assigned and enabled all the interfaces, I created the bridge with all the interfaces (including the LAN interface), without changing the LAN interface port to BRIDGE, it is working well. Every port have connection.

So... what's the catch?

Thank you in advance.
