      Hi Folks

      Have a new 2.01 setup with a static WAN interface, a LAN interface (10.0.0.1/8) and a OPT1 interface (172.16.0.1/22) I'd like
      to use for the CP
      DHCP works on OPT1 and Trying to connect I get a valid IP adress from the specified range but the CP portal page does not show
      up.
      Might this be a gateway or routing problem ?
      Hope anyone here has a hint… thanks in advance

        Try to setup the OPT1 interface IP address as Gateway and DNS on DHCP Server (OPT1).

        You must allow traffic on firewall rules for OPT1. At least these ports:
        8000 (CP)
        53 (DNS)
        80 (HTTP)

          Hi Nachtfalke

          Thank you for your tips but I cannot get 2.01 to work at all. I can install the defaults, all is fine and as soon as I add a Opt1
          interface or change anything else the box stops providing internet access on all interfaces.
          I mean it is a fine new appliance with 7 Gig Ethernet interfaces but I cannot use it with PFsense it seems.
          May it be it is illegal to have the CP on Opt1 or any other interface than LAN ?
          Guess my networks are valid as well because the 172.16.0.0/22 network resided on a PFSense 1.2.3 box and the 10.0.0.0/8
          network resided on a IPcop..now I want to merge them to one new appliance.
          Any clue ?

          cheers thafener

            Could you try to run CP on another interface - other than LAN and OPT1 - just for testing ?
            In general it should work on any interface.

              It'll work fine on any interface. If you're breaking connectivity that seriously, seems you would have to have some kind of serious misconfiguration, like maybe using a very wrong mask (like a /1) on one of the interfaces.

                Thank you all, I have made a new installation from the scratch, now it works fine  ;)
