Hi all,
I am using an Astaro Firewall for my perimeter firewall/router. Under that
subnet I have built a pfSense machine just to handle my wireless clients which
can reach up to 600 at any given moment. There are points in time where the
wireless clients cannot access anything on the internet for a couple of minutes
but other than that everything is working perfectly. The current setup is:
internet<---->astaro (192.168.2.0/24)<----switch--->main LAN
|
|
|
pfSense
|
|
192.168.180.0/22
During the disconnects I still have access to the admin gui of pfSense from a
wireless client but nowhere else. The only entry in the system logs is some ARP
messages that state that some MAC address changed IP to some other value. I was
thinking that the problem might be the switch but I would like to build a
pfSense box with 3 NICs (or more), one for my main lan, one for the wireless,
and possibly one for all my VoIP extensions. Do you think that that will
eliminate my disconnection issues or could it be something else like the MTU
size of my current pfSense machine. This way I can eliminate Astaro even though
it is a great UTM but it's not free and have pfSense manage the whole network.
Running 1.2.3 with a default MTU size of 1500 but after installing NMap I can
see that there are packets up to 1518 in size.
Thanks
