Static Route

jpk_pfsense

I have a SG-2440 with latest firmware. I am trying to setup a static route. Full disclosure, it's been a while since I've done any routing so am obviously failing somewhere.

Gateway setup on interface (192.168.201.1) where the destination (192.168.0.106) traffic needs to go
Static route setup: Network 192.168.0.0/24 | Gateway 192.168.201.1

When I go to Diagnostics - Traceroute, I am unable to trace the route. And I am unable to get to the destination (such as http - 192.168.0.106) from any interface on the firewall.

I can see the firewall pass the traffic but it does not appear to be going out the firewall to the right interface.

What am I missing? Thanks!

@jpk_pfsense so you setup a route pointing to pfsense own interface?

The gateway would be the IP of where this 192.168.0 network is..

So maybe 192.168.201.2 is that device?

router1 (.1) -- 192.168.201 --- (.2) router2 -- 192.168.0

So the gateway and route would be setup on router 1, and don't forget the return traffic.. So router 2 default gateway needs to be the 192.168.201.1 or you need route on router 2 on how to get back to what your source network would be.

Also there should be no hosts on this 192.168.201 network, it should just be a transit network.
