Multi WAN on DHCP Fails
-
An update…
I put in matching Gig intel network cards (same model and everything) and i still have the same problem. When i'm running just one wan interface everything is great, but all hell breaks lose when i enable the second wan.
-
Are both interfaces totally separated? no linking between them?
-
It goes like this:
Wan1
–->
ISP Modem ---> Hub-----| ----> pfSense
--->
Wan2 -
That log message is what you get when the system tries to ARP something that isn't on a locally connected network (may be possible in other circumstances but that's the only time I've seen it). What's the IP, subnet, gateway like on that interface? Is the gateway and subnet different on each WAN?
-
The gateway and subnet are the same on both wan interfaces.
Subnet: 255.255.240.0
Gateway: 72.49.176.1
IP's for both WAN's: 72.49.190.xxx and 72.49.185.xxx -
pfsense does not support same gateway for multiple wan interfaces …
only way,i know, to get it to work is by putting a cheap linksys/dlink/whatever router in between 1 of the interface -
yeah that's why, that must be another circumstance that can trigger that. The system has an ARP entry for that gateway IP on another NIC, and you're trying to force it to ARP that on a different NIC, and one particular IP can only have one ARP entry. An intermediate box doing NAT on one of the WANs is the way to work around that.
-
I have seen that before when my cable modem lost sync and some states were still around from the 192.168.x.x IP for whatever reason. Since pf still had states referring to that gateway, the ARP errors continued.
Try resetting the states table (or perhaps run pfctl -g x.x.x.x where x.x.x.x is the IP you're seeing the arp messages for) and see if they clear up.
-
I'm pretty sure i tried that already, but i'll give it another shot. Sounds like i might just be sol
-
OK. (Actually it's pfctl -b, not -g, apparently had a brain misfile on my last reply)

Only for PPPoE, not DHCP/Static/anything else.
Ahh…No wonder my Multiwan PPPoE is working.

I don't call that multi WAN dude, one WAN, seperated using switch??
