Access modem page behind 'static' WAN

trumee

Hello,

I have a fiber modem at 192.168.18.1. My WAN is setup as 'Static IPv4'. I have setup a Virtual ip address 192.168.18.10/24 like so

With this, i am able to reach modem port 80 from the firewall.

However, i am unable to ping the modem from LAN. I have the following outbound NAT defined,

But i am unable to ping the modem from LAN network

$ ping 192.168.18.1
PING 192.168.18.1 (192.168.18.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
^C
--- 192.168.18.1 ping statistics ---
3 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 2073ms

Any idea how do i access the modem from LAN?

Thanks

Gertjan

Reply to ping is actually an optional thing.

Use a browser and type http://192.168.18.1 will normally do the trick.
If the modem has a GUI - if the GUI is listening on port 80, etc.

edit : normally, the gateway motoring system, tests the upstream gateway by pinging to it.
That would fail .... How are you monitoring ?

Unfortunately, no it does not open from the LAN network.

$ telnet 192.168.18.1 80
Trying 192.168.18.1...

From firewall itself it opens,

[2.4.5-RELEASE][root@pfSense.lan]/root: telnet 192.168.18.1 80
Trying 192.168.18.1...
Connected to 192.168.18.1.
Escape character is '^]'.

In outbound NAT rules, i specified the Interface address as VIP address,

Now it works! Solved!
