Multiple static IP on different gateway
-
@firewalled_lotusdew
Did you simptry out yet is the other two gateways are really needed? -
@firewalled_lotusdew
Please supply the subnet mask(s) you got for the ip's -
@bingo600 The mask is 255.255.252.0
You mean expect 123.176.60.77 to be routed via 123.176.59.1 ?
-
The 255.255.252.0 mask "covers 1024 ip addesses" aka. 4 Class-C networks.
Could you please supply the first REAL 3 octets of your ip addresses ? - A.B.C.?? , the ?? part is irellevant , if you dont want to supply.
Well actually it's just the C part that's interesting , if you got a 255.255.252.0 mask (a /22).
Chances are that you can use a 255.255.252.0 mask on your WAN , and "cover all" ip's asigned with the same def-gw.

From a network configuration advice surely only the lest significant digit are relevant. The ones which a consistent between all of his IP address do not need to be publicly disclosed.
That and the network mask which may cover all public IP given.
Although I guess 123.176. is rubbish and perhaps the remainder is more accurate.

pfSense routes any packets destined to an IP out of its own subnets to the default gateway.
The point is if the gateway accepts a source IP outside of its subnet. Only the ISP will know the answer, but you can easily check it out.
For forwarding packets for such IPs, you can ask your ISP to route them to your primary IP, if he doesn't that anyway.In the past, I had three different public subnets, all with their own network addresses, gateways and broadcast IPs on a single WAN interface. I configured only gateway of the first one on pfSense and all worked well out of the box.

With a /22 netmask the last 10 bits are significant, not the last octet.
They should provide XX.YY.Real-address.real-address
XX.YY should be used to indicate they are identical for both the addresses and the provided gateways.
And, of course, the provided subnet masks.
-
Mmm, depending on which bits were swapped those subnets may or may not be inside the same /22. Currently they are shown as not being which would mean they could not share the same gateway.
-
@stephenw10 Yes I realize that these IPs dont fall within the same subnet I think based on the calculations below. So I am assuming they cannot be routed
As you can see the range is from 123.176.56.X to 123.176.59.254.
So the static IPs 123.176.60.X and 123.176.62.X wont be routable via the gateway 123.176.59.1 I believe. Please let me know if i am understanding correctly ?
-
Yes, they cannot use the same gateway.
Hoe is the DSL modem configured here? Is it really a modem only? I assume you are not using PPPoE here?
Is the 'modem' itself acting as the gateway? -
@stephenw10 @stephenw10 The DSL modem has a fiber connection and it has 4 lan ports. One of the LAN port is configured into bridge mode which lands on the static IP confgured on pfSense WAN.
It might be possible to portmap the remaining 3 LAN into bridge mode as well and land them on seperate static IPs on any interface but that topology will mean I need multiple instances of pfSense I guess. I am trying to avoid that.
I dont know if a better idea would be to front the pfSense with a reverse proxy with different static IPs ... I am quite out of depth here.

Like FTTC? If it's actually fiber to the modem that's not DSL.
Do you have access to the modem? Can you see what IP(s) it is using? It may not be if it really is bridging.Steve
-
@stephenw10 @stephenw10 @stephenw10 Yes FTTC - I have admin access to the modem. Its not using IP as its bridging.

You have 5 rep now you should be able to post more frequently.
Can you see how the bridging is configured?
-
@stephenw10 Yes - attaching a snapshot of choices and currently set as bridge
-
Hmm, well the best thing there would be if you can get the ISP to provide static IPs in the same subnet, that share a gateway. Or route other IPs to your primary IP.
You might just try using them with the original gateway and see hat happens.
-
@firewalled_lotusdew Yeah I'd just put the VIPs on WAN and see what happens.

Exactly what I was going to chime in and say..
-
@chpalmer I have written to the ISP and asked them to reprovision the IP so that they are routable via a single gateway. Once that is done - I think its then trivial to alisas it via virtual IP.
