Each value must be enclosed in square brackets " " with no spaces between them.
All that is left to do is to install the add-on using IPfire's package manager. This range can then be set in the console or in the WUI under "network>DHCP server".Īt this stage a blue network should have been created and configured. The range cannot include the default gateways address. Chose a range of IP addresses that is from the same subnet as the blue network's default gateway address. DHCPĭynamic Host Configuration Protocol is needed to pass out IP address to connecting clients. It is common use, to choose the first or last client address in the subnet ( i.e.1 or. Once a suitable IP address has been determined it should be assigned in the console under " Address settings". Make sure the green and blue are distinct.įor example if you have the green network setup using the 192.168.0.0/24 subnet, use the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet for the blue network. The blue interface needs a static IP address out of the blue network assigned to it. Alternatively you can bridge the two networks with Zone Configuration but this adds some security risk. If a client on the Blue network needs to communicate with a device on the Green network you must add a rule to the firewall allowing access. By default clients cannot connect with the Green network from it. Important - IPfire treats the Blue network as a completely separate network. " Address settings" will be covered in the next section.
Having defined a new blue network a compatible wireless card must be assigned to it in " Drivers and card assignments".Important - It is important to give the blue network a different subnet than the other zones. The Network configuration type must be one of the two types with a blue network.Here you will need to modify " Network configuration type", " Drivers and card assignments" and " Address settings". And navigate to " Network configuration".
