==== 3.2: Changing the LAN IP (Optional) ==== Requirements: You don’t need to change this unless you have a specific reason to do so, such as conflicts with other networks you’re using. I have chosen to change it, and will be working with the following configuration throughout this guide. '''You do not have to follow what I am doing, but if you want to be able to copy & paste along with me addresses of things, feel free to do it this way, it won’t hurt.''' # '''Set Interface IP address''' #* The number for the LAN interface was <code>2</code> in my case # '''Configure the new LAN IPv4 address via DHCP''' #* Choose <code>n</code> #* This isn’t referring to having DHCP so that clients who connect can get an IP address. This means should this interface have a dynamic IP itself, meaning the the router/gateway would have a different IP each time we connect to it. There is no need for this. # '''Enter the new LAN IPv4 address''' #* <code>192.168.5.1</code> is my LAN IPv4 address that I will choose for my router. #* This is where your '''pfSense''' router will be accessible via web browser. This will be your gateway address, and this will be your DNS server. # '''Enter LAN IPv4 subnet bit count''' #* <code>24</code> is the subnet bit count #* (This is shorthand for a subnet mask of <code>255.255.255.0</code>). # '''IPv4 upstream gateway address''' #* Press enter for none. # '''Configure IPv6 address for LAN interface via DHCP6''' #* Press <code>y</code> , we’re not using IPv6 in this guide anyway. #* I hit <code>y</code>, you can hit <code>n</code> and specify an address manually, but I will not be using IPv6 so it makes no difference to me, no need to specify an address I have to remember for something I will never use. #* You’re welcome to set up an IPv6 home network if you want; I am not covering that here. <span id="dhcp-setup"></span>
