Hi all, after using pfsense 1.2.3 for a while as the DHCP server and secondary NAT for my wireless net, I decided to go ahead and replace my perimeter firewall and pfsense 1.2.3 with one device running pfsense 2.0 with 3 NICs. One for the WAN, one for the LAN and one for my WLAN. I have an HP proliant DL380 (2 dual core XEONS 2.8 with 2.5 gb RAM) sitting around and I am planning to have 5 SCSI drives in RAID5, the 2 embedded NICs (LAN and WLAN) plus another NIC in a PCI slot (WAN). The number of clients on the LAN is between 150-190 and on the WLAN 600-800. Attached on the WLAN side I will have about 15 access points. The access points now are different brands. Couple of questions: Would this setup be sufficient? And does anyone know a way to manage the access points, not necessarily though the pfsense but maybe a software or hardware solution? Changing the access points is also part of the plan, Aerohive, Motorolla or Meru Networks...not sure yet.
Any help/advice/suggestion is highly appreciated. Thanks --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
