Cannot ping from OPT1 to OPT2 but can the other way…?
-
No, please see my earlier post. Some WAP GUI do not allow access except from the LAN subnet. You might check for a settings that allows for remote configuration.

podilarius…
I know this, and can assure you that I have been able to get access to this interface from other networks without trouble before.
I have bookmarks for it and everything.It seems that no matter what IP I place it on, nothing allows access to it though PFSense from other subnets.
I placed my IPCop back online to test.
I got to it with no issues.I'm about to call a priest in for an exorcism.
-
IPCop probably NATed the connection. Add a NAT rule at the top that will change the source IP to the OPT2 (.2) network interface address of pfsense if coming from LAN or OPT1 subnets. Did the IPCop and pfSense share the same IP address?
-
Yes they have the same ip topology and they are direct replacements for each other.
Is what you're suggesting going to reset something or clear the problem?
Why would it NAT communication from and OPT"A" to OPT"B" interface?! -
pfSense does not. It does not normally make sense to do so since they are local. What I am suggesting is that IPCop NATed and that is why it worked.
You will have to switch to manual outbound NAT so that you can add the rule to NAT traffic to the specific WAP GUI address. The traffic would "look" like it is coming from the pfSense machine and allow GUI access.
You could also power up IPCop and check the rules for NATing out (while not connected to a network). -
No NATting happens on ipcop either.
I also Know that I had access to it a few months ago with the same firewall rules.
-
Then something must have changed on the WAP. Perhaps the default gateway, route, or subnet mask. If it worked with pfSense before and nothing changed, then it would work now.
-
Agreed, but I have reset it and verified the right information in he setup.

Are there any tools on the WAP that you can use? Like traceroute, ping, or anything? Have you recently upgraded the firmware or something? id you upgrade pfsense recently? Can you post your LAN, OPT1, and OPT2 rules?
-
No tools on the wap.
I'll post my rules in a few moments.
Stand by… -

Here they are, the two nets. all rules but (* ANY) disabled.
-
So the rules are strait forward, okay … enable ssh on pfsense. using ssh login several times to pfsense. The purpose is to run tcpdump on each interface involved.
Using tcpdump watch for the originating traffic from the client, then see if it makes it to the other side of pfsense (which according to the rules should work with no problem). The watch to see if you see any traffic returned from the WAP. You can setup 4 ssh sessions, two for each interface watching in and out on each. -
Interesting idea.
Will do.
