How to configure a WIFI card in bridge with the LAN in pfsense<\/h3>\n
[vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1557407376721{margin-top: -20px !important;}”]If on pfsense<\/strong> you have a WIFI card and you want that, who connects to this wifi, is part of the LAN network (so it will take the DHCP of the LAN, will have a LAN address, etc.), it will be necessary to create a bridge between the LAN and WIFI as described in this guide.First we create a fictitious interface: <\/strong>
\nSelect Interface-> Assignment<\/strong>[vc_single_image image=”18616″ img_size=”full” onclick=”link_image”]Click on the PPPs tab then “Add<\/strong>“[vc_single_image image=”18618″ img_size=”full” onclick=”link_image”]Configure as below, then save[vc_single_image image=”18620″ img_size=”full” onclick=”link_image”]<\/p>\nConfigure the WIFI interface<\/h3>\n
[vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1557407376721{margin-top: -20px !important;}”]Select Interface-> assignement<\/strong> and then tab “wireless<\/strong>”<\/p>\nClick on “add<\/strong>” configure as below and save. The card: “ath0 (Atheros 9280)” will change based on the sk wifi you have installed[vc_single_image image=”18622″ img_size=”full” onclick=”link_image”]Select Interface->assignement<\/strong>, then from “avaible network ports” select the wifi port (i.e. ath0_wlan0 …) then add. The result will be similar to the figure below (instead of “wifi” you will probably have “OPT1”). Click on the interface just created (“OPT1″)[vc_single_image image=”18624″ img_size=”full” onclick=”link_image”]Configure the WIFI interface with your SSID, preshared key, etc. An example below:[vc_single_image image=”18626″ img_size=”full” onclick=”link_image”][vc_single_image image=”18628″ img_size=”full” onclick=”link_image”]<\/p>\nNIC Preparation<\/h3>\n
[vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1557407376721{margin-top: -20px !important;}”]From Interface->assignment<\/strong>, add the newly created “PPP” temporary port, selecting it from “Avaible network ports:” and then clicking on add. As in the figure[vc_single_image image=”18630″ img_size=”full” onclick=”link_image”]Now click on the newly created tab (in the OPT2 example)[vc_single_image image=”18632″ img_size=”full” onclick=”link_image”]Configure it, activate it and choose a name[vc_single_image image=”18634″ img_size=”full” onclick=”link_image”]<\/p>\nCreate il bridge<\/h3>\n
[vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1557407376721{margin-top: -20px !important;}”]From Interface->Assignement<\/strong> then from the TAB \u201cBridges\u201d, create a new bridge as shown, then save[vc_single_image image=”18636″ img_size=”full” onclick=”link_image”]<\/p>\nFinal assignment of the NICs<\/h3>\n
[vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1557407376721{margin-top: -20px !important;}”]<\/p>\n
\n- The following operation is delicate;<\/li>\n
- The interface assigned to the LAN must be assigned to LAN_Port (i.e. igb1).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The LAN interface will be assigned to the bridge just created.<\/p>\n
These two operations must be carried out in strict sequence. Only when both assignments have been made, saved and applied. The result will be similar to the figure below.[vc_single_image image=”18638″ img_size=”full” onclick=”link_image”]<\/p>\n
Create firewall rules<\/h3>\n
[vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1557407376721{margin-top: -20px !important;}”]In addition to the rules on the LAN interface, remember to create a rule on WIFI and LAN_PORT to allow traffic. See example on the LAN_PORT interface (create identical rule on WIFI)[vc_single_image image=”18640″ img_size=”full” onclick=”link_image”]The result will be the following[vc_single_image image=”18642″ img_size=”full” onclick=”link_image”]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
