Can I use pfSense as a switch?
Yes, just create VLANS on the LAN side of PfSense – dont forget to enable those VLANs on the switch or trunk the LAN port with all VLANs and specify VLANs on the switch ports. As you are about to use a pfSense, a router in and of itself, you don’t strictly need a Layer-3 switch.
How to configure pfSense as a router for two internal LAN?
The default gateway is my Netgate device to go to the internet (10.0.0.1) And look at the gateway… its 10.0.0.1 not 10.0.0.4 which is what you have pfsense lan IP set to.. How do you expect to get to the 10.0.1 network on pfsense if you point it towards your internet router?
What happens if you don’t point to pfSense as a gateway?
If you don’t point back to pfsense as the gateway, the machine can not answer.. If the mask is wrong on the client then it would never even send back an answer to pfsense to get sent to the client sending the ping because it thinks that is on its own network, etc.
