Passthrough public IP traffic
-
Good morning,
I'm trying to put two PFSense devices (primary and failover) at the head of my existing network. Currently, my setup is as follows:
Cable internet&2 bonded T1s (these have a block of public IPs, xxx.xxx.xxx.161 - xxx.xxx.xxx.190) -> Fatpipe WARP 3.0 (Primary and Failover) -> Sonicwall Pro 4060 (Primary and Failover) -> LAN
Public IP addresses are assigned as follows:
Cisco IAD = xxx.xxx.xxx.161
Fatpipe WAN 1 = xxx.xxx.xxx.162
Fatpipe LAN = 172.16.1.25 with a public IP of xxx.xxx.xxx.164 as an alias
Sonicwall WAN = xxx.xxx.xxx.180 and this device handles the NATing of public to private IPs for servers on the LAN
Sonicwall LAN = 172.16.1.75I'm planning to use the PFSense device to replace the Fatpipe and have it almost working except that I don't know how to pass incoming traffic destined for the public IPs to the Sonicwall. How can I accomplish this? Also, I had trouble figuring out how to mimic the alias setting that I found in the Fatpipe device and we were offline when I had the LAN port's IP in PFSense set to 172.16.1.25. I just set it to xxx.xxx.xxx.164 to get our internet connections working. Could this be an issue?
Thanks much,
Matt

Bump. Anyone? I'm going out to pickup a hub today. I'm going to try to figure out which is the last device to pass the packets by running a packet capture through the hub at different points in the network. Also, this network is a bit new to me and I've realized that I left one switch out of the equation. There is a switch between the Fatpipes and the Sonicwalls.
