      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

      3940309b-4225-4e93-944f-70031366950e-image.png

      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,
      e91099ac-44fa-47ad-92b5-a70a66ae157d-image.png

      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

        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 ?

        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum.

          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!
