[pfSense-discussion] Optional NIC

[Greg Huggins]

I am currently using IPCOP and have the RED – Wan, GREEN – Lan and BLUE – Wireless concept in my mind for referring to the various NICS.  In my current IPCOP configuration I have my wireless AP and other computers hooked to the BLUE NIC and these computers cannot see the GREEN-Lan unless rules are made to allow the BLUE to see the GREEN but all on the BLUE NIC can access the internet.   Is this the same concept in pfSense?  If I have a 3 NIC setup can the optional NIC (BLUE) see others on the BLUE and access the internet but not access computers on the GREEN-Lan side?   I am thinking of switching to pfSense.  Good idea?     Thanks in advance,   GregH
