Gateway Offline
-
I'm currently using a ironport c170 with pfsense-ce. I can connect my laptop to the juniper switch set a static ip 10.10.10.114 using gateway 10.10.10.113 with DNS 10.10.10.95 and 10.10.10.195 and it works, when i setup the pfsense firewall using the same setting ip, gateway, and dns. pfsense keeps telling me the gateway is down. Any suggestions where I should start to look?

Maybe your gatway does not reply to ICMP echo requests?
Did you try another Monitor IP, 8.8.8.8 for example?-Rico

@rico could be, but the internet doesn't work, i can't ping anything off the pfsense box either.

Does the gateway appear as a complete entry in the ARP table? (Diag > ARP)

thats my arp table -
Ok, it's incomplete so the firewall cannot connect to the gateway at all. It is not responding to ARP requests.
A layer 2 failure like that usually means something basic like a cable in the wrong port or an incorrect VLAN config in the switch maybe.Steve
