      Here is my simple lab test

      pfsense -->Junos switch

      I have switch interface ge-0/0/2 directly connected to OPT interface of Pfsense. When I ping from the switch , I see ARP requests on pfsense but its not responding back to it . I have enabled all the traffic on OPT interface for testing purposes. Any ideas why this issue is happening?. In addition how do we filter for a certain IP in the Firewall logs.
