Pfsense 2.1 Virtual IP's

supermega · Nov 1, 2012, 5:07 PM

Hi there

I updated the pfsense 2.1 amd64 today.

If I try to set a Virtual IP on WAN Interface I can't see that IP in pfsense (ifconfig). If I try to set a Virtual IP on OPT1 Interface I can see that IP with ifconfig on cli.

Any bug known?

What type of VIP? They don't all show in ifconfig.

The type is IP alias.

On OPT1 it's working I can see the VIP (IP alias)

cheers

Can you show the part of config.xml about vips and your wan?
Does it work after a reboot?

Hi ermal

No it doesn't work after reboot :-(

The config.xml I think is OK. But have a look on it :-)

The 10.255.255.253 address show's up in ifconfig.

Update

If I ping the virtual IP on the WAN Interface I get a Time to live exceeded. :P

Hi guys

Today I found something very intresting.

The problem of the time to live is exceeded still persists.

A tracert goes to the original ip address of the WAN Interface –-> back to the Gateway of my ISP --> back to the original ip address of the WAN Interface until the time to live exceeds.

On the WAN Interface I have an IPalias in the same range as the WAN Interface.

By any chance your wan is pppoe?

If, yes where do you expect this vip to be applied on the pppoe on real physical interface?

supermega · Jul 17, 2013, 7:34 AM

Yes my WAN is pppoe.

I found a solution if I add the virtual ip on the Localhost Interface it works like a charm.

If the VIP is on the WAN Interface I get TTL expired.

So thanks for your help :)
