How to add seconday wan ip subnet from isp?
-
Hi
A short description of my system: I have 2 PfSense 2.0.1 servers running in hardware failover using CARP.
I currently have an public IP range called "33.44.55.66/27" configured on the WAN interface… I'm about to run out of available IP adresses in this range, and i've ordered a new /26 subnet... How do i add these IP addresses to my pfsense setup? I was expecting an option on the WAN interface that said something like "ip address secondary"... But that doesn't seem to be the case?`

Just add an interface on that same NIC
33.44.55.67/26
33.44.55.68/26
33.44.55.69/26
33.44.55.70/26
33.44.55.71/26
..
..
33.44.55.126/26Probably all having gateway 33.44.55.65

This option is in firewall -> virtual ips.

Is my suggestion wrong or does it depend on what you want to do with it?
I thought about completely different rules for one IP, maybe handling different LANs for different WANs… -
Same gateway on different interfaces normally is a problem.
If you have distinct gateways for it, then there is no problem.
The way you authenticate with provider does matter too.

They should route you the second subnet, to one of the IPs within the first subnet. Then you don't need VIPs at all if you're using with 1:1 NAT, or Other type VIPs for other areas.
