Hello all, Sorry if this is a bit of a general question, any hint on where to RTFM is very welcome.
My current set up is one pfSense Box connected to 3 ADSL lines with MultiWAN and a 2nd pfSense Box connected to the first and then connected to 3 different LANs. I am using 2 boxes because that is what was available but none of the boxes offered enough options to connect more NICs. Now I got myself a manageable Switch (a TL-SL2210WEB) which I would like use to cut down one pf-Box. I’m still not 100% sure about the final set up, but if possible (with this switch) I would like to connect the 3 ADSL to the switch and VLAN them to the pfSense Box, and use the 3 lines via MultiWAN to give more bandwidth to the LANS. If the Switch allows, I want to connect the 3 LANs via VLAN too, to the pfSense Box and use traffic shaping to prioritise one LAN over the other and certain kind of traffic over other too. Should it be possible to use the shaper on 3 different LANs if they all come in over 1 NIC but are separated in 3 different VLANs? In my current setup I was told I would have to use a Bridge and gave up at that point just limiting one LAN to a max MBit connection. If it is not possible use the Traffic Shaper as described, I guess I would need to set up a bridge between two NICs somewhere, how would I have to go on about that? Any suggestions welcome. Sorry for the n00b questions, I’m actually just doing this for the fun of it while running a hostel in Bolivia and I couldn’t get any decent network techs to get our internet working properly. As a background, the LANs are our Office LAN, a LAN for various stationary PCs used by the clients and 3rd a WiFi that is freely accessible by all our clients and easily runs up to 100-120 devices connected at any given time.
