I'm trying to configure efw community in my network where I've 3 managed
switch and 8 VLANs.
Every VLAN has a different subnet and should have a different DHCP.

Seems this configuration is not manageable in efw because there are only 3
zones (only a zone permit to define a subnet).

Why this choise. In pfsense this configuration is possibile, why in endian is not?

Which is the correct way to manage 8 VLAN with endian?

Thanks

There is not correct way to manage more than 3 zones on endian.
It's a pity, but you must group the VLAN's on these 3 zones, and if you need DHCP server on endian you must manually tweak the dhcp.conf.tmpl template.

Also check
http://help.endian.com/entries/25391848-How-to-split-a-zone-in-sub-zones
for correctly separating traffic between VLAN's. If you don't do that you can have a nice packet storm (I made only by connecting 2 endians on the same VLAN's).

Thanks for your reply. And renouncing to dhcp server, I can't manage 8 vlans with different subnet defining only rules in the firewall to route traffic?
So I group all vlan in GREEN zone and then I route the traffic on subnet based.

You spoke about "packet storm". Do you mean that doing this the firewall could became a bottleneck?

Thanks
