      Hello,

      I'm trying to configure my WAN interface to get an IP-address via PPPoE (and of course this works)
      Additinaly I need to configure a static IP-Adress on the same interface (without a gateway) to access the DSL-modem for management reasons.
      I tried to to this with CARP, but ist doesn't work, becaus CARP only works with IP-addresses from the same subnet as the interfaces real IP.
      I also tried to do this with ProxyARP, but it also doesn't work, because i can't specify a subnetmask, wich is needed that pfsense knows that the destination IP is reachable localy.
      Then I tried to configure a "other" IP-address, but here I have the same Problem as with proxy ARP.

      How can I set up a second IP-address (which is in an other Subnet as the first) on the same interface? Is this possible with pfsense?

          is it possible that the embadded image does not support the
          "redir" command and also does not support the "pkg_add" command?
          I just tried to do it like it is described in the other thread, but the shell only returns

          
          # pkg_add
          pkg_add: Command not found.
          # redir
          redir: Command not found.
          #
          
          

          so at the moment, I have a IP-address (configured with ifconfig) on my WAN interface, and from the shell, I can ping my modem. But of course, I can't apply anny rules (nat, fw) to this ip address.
