Huawei B818 Bridged Mode
-
@stephenw10 yes, after making sure the LAN DHCP server was enabled and setting the WAN/LAN mode the LAN Only, now pfSense is getting a my static private IP, however somehow I am still able to ping the router @ 192.168.1.1 with no gateways and static routes in place

@deanfourie said in Huawei B818 Bridged Mode:
pfSense is getting a my static private IP,
You mean public IP?
Well the LTE router is in the default route so it will be able to respond as long as it has a route back to the pfSense WAN IP, which it apparently does.

@stephenw10 sorry Public IP, I should go back to bed.
But in bridged mode, I would not expect there to be a route.
After all, it should be a transparent device no?
-
Check the MAC addresses. Does the 192.168.1.1 IP appear to use the same MAC as the gateway?

I mean the upstream gateway that pfSense is using on the WAN side. Which I imagine must be one of those 163. IPs? And I assume that's inside the WAN subnet?
You would have to open a request to 192.168.1.1 and if it's local you might see it.
However given that you can see at least 4 IP in the 163.47.0 subnet they might simply be routing that to you. In which case 192.168.1.1 might just be added as a second IP on the router. pfSense would not see that as local but can still reach it via the default route.

@stephenw10 but why on 3 different subnets, I'm assuming they are /24 and there is a .0 .1 and .2 subnet
-
What size WAN subnet does it give you?
The fact you are seeing those IPs in the ARP table implies they are sending traffic to you. So probably broadcasts.
-
@stephenw10 so why would I be receiving traffic on another public IP other then my own static public IP?
Is this normal?

-
@deanfourie still not dodgy you recon.
-
If it's in the same subnet then you would see any broadcast traffic from those IPs, yes.
I have no idea yet if your WAN IP is in that subnet or not if one of them is the gateway you are being passed by DHCP. I would imagine they are.
-
Actually is looks like it is. What subnet mask is it given?
-
@stephenw10 no, my WAN interface on pfSense is given my public static IP, not a private.
-
Those are public IPs. The IP you are logged into the forum with is also in that range.
What subnet mask is is giving pfSense on the WAN?

-
@deanfourie how can I find the interface mask, can't see it anywhere
-
In Status > Interfaces. 'Subnet mask IPv4'
Or at the console, the /24 show here for example:
WAN (wan) -> re1 -> v4/DHCP4: 172.21.16.10/24 -

My LAN is a 224 or /27 but no subnet mask on the WAN side.
