Simplest way is to bridge opt1 with lan. you have one subnet then without any firewall between the
two ports. you also could do it with assigning each port it´s own ip and subnet, but then you would
have to define rules. also some broadcasts won´t get from port a to port b and vice versa.
I assume, that you only want to spare a hub/switch, so simply bridge the two interfaces if you don´t
need any security between port a and port b. Don´t forget to use crossovercables to connect your pcs
to the monowall, as the monowall is not a switch/hub.

Betreff: [m0n0wall] 3 nics - a wan and two lans


I have just added a third nic to my m0n0wall. I would like to have one 
nic accepting my inet connection, and the other two serving my two pcs. 
Obviously I would like both pcs on a LAN being able to share resources, 
and sharing the WAN connection. All three nics are showing up and being 
recognised.

Do I need to bridge the Optional 1 interface (OPT1) with the LAN 
interface in order to get this to work, or assign the OPT1 interface its 
own ip, and create its own set of firewall rules?

Thanks
