      I don't have a similar config but that is what I would try first. Create a VIP for one of the IPs in that /28 and then play with it to see if it works.

        If these are routed to you - you can actually place the IPs on devices behind pfsense if you wanted too.. There is no need to use vips - unless you actually want to do it that way.

            I spoke too soon. I can ping the new IP from the 5100 when I add a VIP but I can't reach it from outside the FW. I have modified the NAT rules to point to the new VIP but no action. Do I have to add another gateway on the wan address with the network address of the new subnet (206.248.147.128/28)?

              No you only need the one gateway. What are you trying to accomplish with the /28? Some port forwards?? Show your NAT rules.

                If the /28 is routed to you - it should be routed to you over the same transit as your other network that is routed to you. You sure they are actually "routed" we get this a lot around here where they say routed be really the isp just gave them IPs that directly attached.

                  @johnpoz I agree. I have reached out to the ISP to get the routing information for the /28 subnet. I am waiting for that info before I move on.

                    All good now! ISP had second subnet incorrectly routed.

                      So you going to actually put the network behind pfsense or you going to just use vip?

                        @johnpoz I like to NAT, so I will use VIP.
