I have a firewall that needs replacing on short notice and I would like to use pfSense. The network is 192.168.1.x... (Servers, Printers, etc...) there is a VLAN on that same network (for their Nortel BCM / phones) that is 192.168.200.x.
I want to be able to VPN into a pfSense box, and access everything on the 192.168.1.x and the 192.168.200.x networks. Basically, we'd like to get people working from home using VoIP Softphones accessing the BCM and at the same time, the network equipment. I've never needed to do this before (getting VPN access into the first network is easy enough) so how or where would I do this to access the VLAN as well? If I remember when I do a fresh install, it asks to create VLANs... Is this where I would define the 192.168.200.x network? That network already exists and I think is defined in the Ethernet Switch. Would this conflict or is this on the right track? Would I need another Ethernet Port (so three) on the pfSense box to simplify this? Or does the VLAN just show up as if it is another LAN port in pfSense? One last question on VPN's. I recall way back that having a remote user on a network with 192.168.1.x series trying to VPN into another network with the same number scheme, would cause conflicts and problems (basically mixing up thinking they're on the same subnet). I haven't used the 192.168 series of IPs for that one reason for the past 10+ years (all the Linksys/Dlink/consumer stuff does by default). Is this still the case? Any advice would be appreciated.
