Hi all.
I'm new to pfSense, and I'd like to get some help.
I just trying to set up a captive portal using pfSense 2.0-RC1
Up to now it works like a charm and if our requirements will
be satisfied, we'll go with pfSense.
In any case, pfSense looks like a great software.
Congratulations to the developers and all contributors.
My setup should be something like this:
------------
| internet |
------------
|
-----------------------
| department firewall | --------------
----------------------- | freeradius |
| | --------------
| | |
| ------- dep. network -------
|
-----------
| pfsense |
-----------
| | |
| | --------- captive network 1 ----------
| --------- captive network 2 ----------
--------- captive network n ----------
I hope the above schema made it through correctly,
keeping spaces and monospaced font..
pfSense HW will have
- 1 nic on the dep. network
- 9 to 12 nic for captive networks (all ethernet)
Authentication will be done on a freeradius server
on the department network.
we would like to, and we I ask for the experts advice/hints:
1) be able to reach the administrative interface (http/ssh)
from the department network, that to my understanding
should be the wan interface.
2) given the wan nic address, as seen by the dep firewall,
be able to track down a client (or at least the captive network)
If there's no simple solution for point 2, it could be achived
by setting to the wan nic a different ip for each captive network.
In FreeBSD words that should mean to also assign n aliases to
the wan nic.
Any hint/advice/guidance is very welcome.
Thank you and best regards.
Robi
