      @runevn You didn't specify what NAS equipment you are using, but I experienced exactly the same issue in my setup when I switched to 24.03. I run a Synology NAS, so it might be applicable to you, and for this setup to work you need to set "Enable Multiple Gateways" in Control Panel / Network / General / Advanced Settings. If that is not set you end up with assymetric routing just like @johnpoz said, as everything goes through your default gateway on the NAS.

        I did some searching on the topic and found this topic on state policy but I don't know if that even relates to my issue and if so I can't find the setting for enable multi gateways

        Ah, I see you found my thread from earlier. Yes it might apply, and if you run Synology then the specific setting is as I specified in my previous post.

          I don't know why but can't find the setting where I can enable multiple gateways. Could you be more specific where I can find it? Am I on the wrong setting section?

            The change you need to do is not in pfSense, it is on the NAS.

              I'm not familiar with that NAS, but I'll take a quick look if there a similar gateway option there.

                @runevn I can't see any setting for multiple gateways in the TrueNAS Scale documentation. From what I gather it should work if everything is set up "normally", confirm:

                • your NAS interfaces are configured using DHCP
                • pfSense provides the correct gateway address (check DHCP server setup)
                • you don't have default gateway specified in NAS Global Configuration / Default Gateway Settings, as that overrides the one given in DHCP (according to https://www.truenas.com/docs/scale/24.04/scaleuireference/network/globalconfigurationscreens/)

                  @runevn does your nas have more than 1 interface?

                    @johnpoz Yes, three different:

                    • One management interface (GUI)
                    • NFS share
                    • SMB share

                      Thanks a million! You were right.

                      I had defined a default gateway and had a static IP address for the vlan 20 interface. I removed the default gateway and then set the storage vlan20 to get the IP from the DHCP server (I couldn't find a way to manually add a gateway per interface when using static IP.

                      But now it works.

                      Thanks for all the help @johnpoz and @pst.

                          You were right.

                          This brought to mind a line from Grateful Dead song ;)

                          "Well, I ain't always right, but I've never been wrong"

                          You get a cookie if you know what song, without having to look it up ;)
