I have a site that has grown significantly over time and the role pfsense plays
went from only providing internet and vpn connectivity to routing between 2
dozen vlans at gig speeds. We are considering replacing the hardware and aren't
sure if the site is at the point where dedicated equipment is in order or
possibly
a pair of pfsense units in a cluster. Truth is, managed switches that route
with acls
are significantly more money that what a pfsense box can do.
How many of you guys have implementations which route lan traffic at these
speeds
and high volumes? Anyone doing this with lags and a cluster?
A few years ago, we built a number of such units for customers, and for
our own use. 4x 10GbE NIC ports on 2 NICs, 4x 1GbE NIC ports on 2
NICs. LAGed (actually multiple LAGs, typically ~4 per unit). Units
handled multiple gigabit inbound speeds without issue for a long time
(customers site).
We've built a number of others for other customers. They usually come
in much less expensive and often significantly more performant than the
managed network/routers/firewalls from other places.
Thanks,
