      Hello

      To get my cable digibox up and running (Telenet a Belgium ISP) the digibox need to connected direct on the cable modem (1 eth port model)
      note the cable modem is a modem only no router/ wifi / no NAT inside so i get the pub ip direct on my Pfsense
      The Digibox request a DHCP adres and get another "private" ip from the cable ISP based on the MAC of de Digibox

      This is a "working" solution only the switch i want to "integrate" in the pfsense  by assign a 2e eth to the wan

      Cable modem > switch > Digibox
                                        > Pfsense > Network

      the prefer solution

      Cabe modem > Pfsense > Digibox
                                        > Network

      Any hints ?

        i've been wondering if its receives a different ip based on mac OR if the digibox is running on a seperate vlan. (or a mac-based vlan)

          Hi,

          Did you ever found a solution?

          i'm in a similar situation. But no change to keep the digicorder before the pfsense.

          There are 2 mac address 1 for the internal network 192.168.x.x and 1 for the telenet 10.x.x.x
          But i don't know how to filter on only mac for passing through those packets. If it's even possible.
