What Virtual IP type address to use?
-
My ISP deploys out "static" IP's via DHCP (TELUS)
i have a NG 6100 and will run the fiber modem to the 2.5G link.I have a couple routers that already have static IP's
How would I go about creating Virtual IP's that SPOOF a different MAC address
thus getting the static IP on a new Virtual IP on the Netgate and not the old Cisco.Or when I call into the ISP can a virtual ip also generate a new MAC that they can just use instead?
This is to avoid having to have a switch in-between the ISP modem and the Netgate
(currently how i get more than 1 static IP off the modem) -
There is no good way to do that. The only VIP type that uses a different MAC is CARP and that uses a special MAC type the ISP may reject. It also must be configured as static, it cannot be DHCP.
The only way I've seen this done is to create a single interface bridge on the WAN. You can then assign that and spoof the MAC and it will pull a new IP via DHCP.
However that is a hack. pfSense it not intended to operate like that, you should not have more that one interface in the same subnet.Steve
