      Hello,

      Model: Netgate 1537 Max with 2x extra SFP+, NIC

      We have a static range from our ISP.

      Network XXX.XXX.XXX.138 - .142
      Subnet: 255.255.255.248
      Gateway: XXX.XXX.XXX.137

      DNS settings used: 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8

      I have added these settings to WAN as static IP. The gateway seems "online" but I cant ping 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8 from my LAN. Trying to ping through pfsense also gives me packet loss. What am I missing?

      I tried adding the network as XXX.XXX.XXX.138 /29, but made no difference.

      Do I have to use Virtual IPs just to connect to internet?

      Outbound NAT is set to automatic.

      As you can see on one screenshot, WAN is "Unknown" rxpause, txpause - But this is only on the 10Gbe SFP+ module, when I changed the WAN port to a 1Gbe port, it says Full Duplex. However, still no internet, no matter which physical port I use for WAN.

      Spent a few hours yesterday to fix this, but nothing. Connected the old gateway (zywall) and it worked straight away.

        @gwrobinjj said in Static WAN Settings:

        WAN settings (static ip)

        Identical interface and gateway address❔

          @viragomann yes, I've tested .138 /29 as well, but didnt work. Have to test it again, though I dont think it will make a difference.

            Fact is, that it cannot work this way.

              @viragomann yeah, I will change to .138. If I still have the issue, what can be the problem?

                So which interface settings do you have on the Zywall, which works as you said?

                Maybe the ISP has a MAC lock?

                Outbound NAT rules are generated correctly?
