Hyper v opnsense + bridge

Why do i connect the modem to wan?

[Marinoz]

You can't. Your OPßnsense must have a WAN and a LAN side and you connect the modem to WAN only.

ive never mentioned any modem i have a terminal cause i use optic fiber and a gateway. No modem. Doesnt opnsense act a modem ?

[Patrick M. Hausen]

Because the modem is the connection Internet uplink. A firewall is a device intended to separate two or more networks and enforce a policy about who is allowed to talk to whom.

Therefore it needs at least two interfaces.

In most home setups the two networks are the internal LAN network and the rest of the Internet.

Your modem has two interfaces, too, when run in router mode. The one with the DSL or cable connection (Internet) and the one for internal systems (LAN, possibly with switch and/or WiFi). It acts as a firewall when configured as a router.

Now when you turn your ISP router/modem into a "dumb" modem, you need another router with two interfaces. Which is OPNsense which is the reason you configure your ISP box for modem mode in the first place, isn't it?

So you have an ISP "box". What does that do before you introduce OPNsense into the mix? How many interfaces does it have, how are they connected, does it provide DHCP and DNS or what else?

[Marinoz]

DNS DHCP WLAN everything even lan ports. 4 lans one of them is wan and telephony. it was connected to a huwaei terminal which took internet from fiber optic. it did all the jobs

Good luck, I'm out.

sorry that i dont understand what yall mean cause i dont speak fluent english and that im a beginner. Maybe you dont make clear questions not me.

So one box plus this huawei terminal thingy or one single box that is this huawei terminal thingy? How many devices? What exactly goes where? I don't know what a huawei terminal is - you need to describe to me what that thing does. How should I know if I never owned such a piece of equipment.

Describe your setup. In all details. Either one or two boxes - manufacturer and model of each of them (well, one is huwawei, we know as much).

and thats how i get internet right now. If i want to connect the opnsense between the speedport and the terminal what should i do?

[Patrick M. Hausen]

Then as the very first prerequisite the OPNsense needs two network interfaces - one going into the Huawei terminal and one going into the speedport. This is the only way this is going to work.

I know the wan of opnsense goes to huwaei and the lan goes to speedport right ?

[Patrick M. Hausen]

Right. Set the Speedport to bridge mode with DHCP and DNS and everything disabled so it will serve strictly as a switch and a WiFi AP. Connect to LAN of OPNsense. Connect PC to switch builtin to Speedport. The PC should receive an IP address starting with 192.168.1.

You should be able to access the OPNsense UI at http://192.168.1.1/

Then you can configure your WAN interface.

Ok but BTW I'm not that noob lol I know dhcp and how it works 😅 🙃

[Patrick M. Hausen]

OK - but then what is your problem?

[Marinoz]

After connecting the router to the lan port of opnsense I don't get anything. I guess it's because I didn't disable dhcp and dns. Plus will I have telephony?
