promiscious mode
-
Is promiscious mode possible on community edition? Have ATT fiber and docs say i need moden connected to pfsense with promisc mode enabled.

You can set it manually using a sysctl. If you're using the old netgraph script method you can just add it to the script. If you set a VLAN on an interface it would usually run in promisc mode anyway.
How exactly are you trying to connect?

@stephenw10 theres mixed results on finding a guide. . . my purpose is to use pfsense as the main router and my internet is att uverse with the separate ONT
-
i found a command "ifconfig <interface> promisc" to enable it but that just echoes back the help info for the command and not really any other output and tried tcpdump to see if promisc was working but that command didnt work either
-
netgate docs says i need pfsense+ and 3 NIC's and using the RG to authenticate the traffic. ATT said i should use passthrough mode in the RG to hand pfsense the traffic and thats how its currently connected
ONT > ATT RG > PfSense > LAN

Yes in Plus we added code to enable the authentication bridge to the AT&T router dircetly without using netgraph. That allows you to have a public IP on pfSense directly.
You can still do that using the old netgraph method in CE.
What you are able to do depends on what AT&T equipment and what connection type you have.
