1 LAN NIC, static ip AND VIP for LAN subnets

[wm408]

Hi,

I've assigned a VIP (IP Alias) to a physical LAN Nic to handle requests for a different subnet, other than the LAN subnet.
I.e: LAN subnet = 192.168.10.1/24
IP Alias subnet  = 192.168.11.1/24.

Under Advanced > Firewall / NAT, the setting to bypass firewall rules for traffic on the same interface is checked.

It appears that I have all of the firewalls rules set on the LAN interface for the two separate subnets to allow traffic to/from one another, etc.  So no restrictions.

Still, there's some firewall blocking going on for some traffic and pings that originate from the 192.168.11.0/24 subnet to the IP Alias  192.168.11.1.  Also - cannot ping an external host using 192.168.11.1 as a gateway.  NAT is configured properly for the 192.168.11.0/24 to the WAN, just like the 192.168.10.0/24 subnet was auto generated.  Same kind of rule.

First time working with IP Aliases in this scenario. 
Is it possible to have an IP Alias (192.168.11.1) to be used as a default gateway for 192.168.11.0/24 hosts on the same interface as the physical interface (192.168.10.1 and subnet 192.168.10.0/24)?

Let me know if any thoughts/tips.

Thanks.

Simply ended up using VLANs for this situation.  Previously had been told that the switch did not support VLANs, found out otherwise.

Further… configured VLANs on pfSense under: Interfaces > Assign > VLANs and Interface Assignments.
