WAN not getting IP
-
Hi, ill start saying im fairly new to pfSense, ill explain my prolem, I had configured pfsense this way ISP->ONT->pfSense, the problem I have is that after setting the VLAN to 24 (it might be this because im from spain using and OMV called FiNetwork and this ISP uses Lowi's ISP which for NEBA is 24, not 100% sure about this one), than I created a pppoe interface with the hostname and password that I got from a friend that works for that ISP, after setting them in and pointg this interface to the vland24 I've just created it appears down. I'll attach pictures for that.
If you need more screenshot for other things just ask for them and im glad to provided as many as it needs.Thanks so much for any bit of helped involed, if you know something please don't hessitate to share it with me as im kind desperate on this.

I think, if the ISP in question takes the PPPOE connection seriously, you will not be able to log in from multiple endpoints with another user / psw pair.
-
@DaddyGo Needed to point out that my objective is to replace my ISP router for my own one, when I try to connect through pfSense the other router is switched off, I think that's what you are triying to tell me, correct me if I have missunderstood your sentence, thanks anyways for the reply.
-
Yes, only one connection at a time, for endpoint protection (ISP).
In case the ISP protection is serious, I would even try to clone the WAN MAC address of the original ISP router. -
@DaddyGo Hi again, I already did that, I've copied the exact MAC as the old router but still tries to reconnect. Not sure other things I should do to be honest.
-
I see that there is a Dell (vendor) MAC address in the interface list as a WAN interface. (I don't think this is the ISP CPE)
if the MAC spoofing is successful, you can see the MAC of the old / ISP router here
I think MAC spoofing failed, because you need to show something like this with different MAC addresses within a device....
this is a 4 eth. port on APU device with spoofed MAC address on WAN (with Cisco MAC)
-
your PRTSC is show that, you have all interfaces on b8: ca: 3a: ........ this a DELL NIC
-
sorry if you've tried this in the meantime and haven't taken a new screenshot,
Your VLAN setup is good at first glance, what does the dhcp log file show?.....by the way :-)? -
One more idea, sorry I'm not very consistent.....
PPPOE + Dell hardware I go further...
Dell Hardware = Broadcom bce(4) Cards ??? (BCM57XX family)
maybe it is: PPPoE with Multi-Queue NICs - https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/hardware/tuning-and-troubleshooting-network-cards.htmlSorry, if I'm little bit to much to you, but this COVID has locked everyone in theirs home and the home office clients are working well so I have had a lot of free time .....
-
@DaddyGo Don't worry im so thankfull for your time, im just getting the think you asked me, I managed to get to work de MAC spoofing, now im gonna test if the ONT get's the ip into the router.
-
@DaddyGo Okay, we made progress, now my ONT starts blinking on the lan side, it seems that it's trying to do something, also the PPPOE conecction goes up than goes down, give a moment and ill make a screenshot of the DHCP logs.
-
if you have time, read into this, although it is not FTTH, but DOCSIS, but there may be crosstalk between them: https://forum.netgate.com/topic/151929/pfsense-wan-interface-wont-get-ip-address
-
@DaddyGo I have plenty of time hahaha, also I have a dell poweredge r620 with and integrated intel i350-t4 nic, im planning on getting another 4Port also i350 and a dual port sfp+ to get rid of the ONT aswell, this is for future upgrade, first I want to have it working.
-
@DaddyGo Just a stupid question, having the clock wrongly set can impact the way it get's acces to the ISP server, or it just mess up with just the logs and anything else. I know that having a minute behind for example, google authinticator doesn't work anymore, just asking for that reason.
-
of course, NTP is very important, just think of certificates with SSL
but that's another question, hmmm
BTW, specify your time exactly, because the timings are based on that as well
especially since pfSense is a very good NTP server on your network and you don't need to use external pools -
we use old, but little used Dell R210IIs for pfSense with NICs I350-F4 / I350-T4 (because the on -board BCM chipset is not very suitable for IPS) / it’s a fantastic configuration, it survives everything
-
@DaddyGo Okay, im gonna set the time right, also I need to take a break for this, my roommate started playing a videogame and I can't mess with the network right now till 23 so ill be back on doing testing at that hour, thanks so much honestly you made more progress for me than the 4 days im stuck with this. I'll reply with more thinks later as I can mess with the network again.
-
thank you for your kind comment, let’s spend time with what we love
if I can even help, I'll be here tomorrow and now I'll check out the How the Universe Works (next episode) -
@DaddyGo Back at work hahaha, I changed the time, this is the DHCP log is showing up, ill link the pictures throught drive because it's faster than taking a screenshot and uploading since only my laptop has an internet connection (https://drive.google.com/open?id=1-1ooMoEYBpKMLVECANBQ9Hvi2wyp3y8d) that's what DHCP is showing.
-
Two things :-)
so that we can get into the "picture" more seriously, so your system looks like this: ISP modem or router (in bridge mode) + pfSense box ???the another:
- the following should be observed in the dhcp log.... from WAN
but in front of it press a button on the status / interface tab, WAN section "release WAN" / with this button we start a process which, if we are lucky, generates a log entry in dhcp
- the following should be observed in the dhcp log.... from WAN
