General Questions

Hello

I am considering using firewall how ever I need to know if it supports :

- tagged vlans (having multiple tagged vlans on the inside interface)

- routing (I have a 255.255.255.0 IP range but will need to break it up into many 255.255.255.240's).

- Floating IP (does it have support for automatic failover with a second monowall)

Many Thanks

Yes, you can create VLAN's within m0n0wall (trunking with 802.1q).

If your /24 is routed to you via a WAN IP, it will be easier, but yes, you can subnet  your /24.

There is no redundancy protection with m0n0wall at this time.

You know If I can do traffic shaping using M0n0wall at several VLANs?.

I mean, I have few VLANs at Cisco L2 switch wit trunking, I must connect that switch to m0n0wall WAN interface, then I have the same poll of VLANs at LAN port, it is connected to another Cisco L2 switch. I just want to do Traffic shaping to all VLANs for put top speed limits to each VLAN. Getting tagged packets from WAN to do shaping, then forwarding those packets to LAN.

Any one have tryed it? or is it possible to do with m0n0wall??

Well, my current setup uses Monowall beta and a cisco 2950T.
Hence giving essentially an unlimited number of routable networks.

The 2950T is configured with .q1 tagging, and is trunked with the monowall.

The monowall then has interfaces in each vlan.

Hence, i a Green, DMZ, WLAN, Voice vlan which terminate at the monowall.

On the monowall itself, i then have general traffic shaping to shape the green segment (p2p lowest priority, ssh/chatting highest)

the Voice vlan then has a traffic shape on it to give it the highest priority.
the dmz has got second highest priority.
and the WLAN has got shaping using the captive portal page (limits speed to slow broadband)
