Dual WAN, One ISP, balancing possible?

hoba

Dear

What I want to say why the hardware make the sum of bandwidth without error and why the pfsense cant do ??? :-\

I don't understand this sentence. Please try to find some other words.

sory for my bad english

but I want to know can pfsense sum bandwith for 10 WAN IP (same gateway) like the hardware dual wan (SMCBR24Q) and if no …......... why ?

hoba

It can, but you need different gateways (at least if you want to balance it). Other option is to use 1:1 or advanced outbond nat like described above but that won't give you balancing but only simultaneous use by different clients.

And in future is it support?
and If I make advance NAT is it sum the bandwidth ?

and many thaks for you ;D

hoba

I think bill said in a similiar thread that it could be done but our gui doesn't support it. If that is the case we might add support for it later.

If you use advanced outbound NAT it will sum up the bandwidth but you need several clients to use all of the bandwidth. None of the clients can use more than one IPs up/down restrictions though.

OK

If I make this topology

10 ip one GW 1 IP and 9 Sub configure with multi GW
ISP –-------------- Switch----------Router----------------pfsense-----------------------------

--------ISA Server-------Clients

it is work ?
and really I need make this work and I am sorry for disturb you :P

I honestly haven't read this entire thread but I can confirm that you can load balance with the same actual gateway using routers. Here is my setup:

/–----routera10.10.10.1---------Wan-10.10.10.10
ISP
-------routerb11.11.11.1---------opt1wan2-11.1.11.11
I set it up like that and it worked just dandy.

I will also tell you that I tried it like this:
/------DSLtransprentPPPoEmode---------Wan-PPPoE
ISP
-------routerb11.11.11.1---------opt1wan2-11.1.11.11
and if failed, not sure why though. It may have just been when I tried that particular setup, I put in a rule incorrectly. Anyways, hope that helps. Also if your having dns problems after doing this, the routing tables may be going screwy, but so far it hasn't happned for me.

There is a known bug that prevents usage of a PPPoE connection for pools. We are working on fixing this.

But as you see I have 10 IP that mean I need 10 routers or I make Vlans???
or I can make Sub IP in the external router (only One router) and I configure pfsense to use every sub IP as a gateway

please see the attachment this is my Topology and the second one I need to do it Can I ?

As hoba said, this DOES NOT work currently. Sorry!

majedalanni

Thanks alot

any another software you preferd ??

If you have one isp and 1 internal server it's pointless.

And I do not see why you want it either.
