No, the reverse will not happen unless the PFSENSE is vlan capable and that becomes a PFSENSE problem
I am strictly stating that if the pfsense has no vlan capability and has one flat network then
a. the CRS326 acting as a router will get its WANIP from the pfsense LANsubnet.
b. we simply tag the pfsense flat subnet coming in as a vlan
c. the CRS will terminate that subnet as its WAN and we can do this by assigning an IP address for that subnet on the vlan we have designated
d. we can also pass the flat subnet to ports on the switch but these are transparent and the switch will have no control over them......
e. we cannot pass switch own subnets to ports on the pfsense, unless pfsense can do vlans and other stuff not my problem.
f. users on switch subnets could reach pfsense users, as they are natted to the IP of the MT router on the way out so return traffic will get back to the MT and be unsourcenatted to the originator.
g. users on the pfsense CANNOT reach mt subnet users, UNLESS, there is a static route on the pfsense pointing such traffic to the IP address of the MT router.
