Routing and Additional Networks

[jim.kane]

We have moved into a new colo and were given the following in the way of IP assignments (a strange setup for me):

1.)  Routing Network:

XX.XXX.108.8/29

XX.XXX.108.9 Routing Network Default Gateway
XX.XXX.108.10 Provider Reserved (HSRP)
XX.XXX.108.11 Provider Reserver (HSRP)
XX.XXX.108.12 First Customer Usable Address
XX.XXX.108.14 Last Customer Usable Address

2.) Additional Networks

XX.XXX.108.32/27

And the following comments:

Additional networks will be router to the first customer usable IP address of the routing network (XX.XXX.108.12).

When I try to add virtual ips on the WAN interface on the XXX.XXX.108.32/27 network, I get the following error:

Sorry, we could not locate an interface with a matching subnet for XX.XXX.108.32/27. Please add an ip in this subnet on a real interface.

So, how do I configure PFSense so that I can setup virtual IPS on the XX.XXX.108.32/27 network?

@jim.kane:

I think it should read "… will be routed to...".
Add 'Other' type of VIPs on both master and slave firewalls.

I tried adding an "other" type virtual IP.  With or without the "OTHER" virtual IP, the packets just bounce endlessly between the WAN interface and the WAN interface's default gateway.

Any ideas?

Ahhh, that only happens with Ping…  I can open TCP and UDP connections via rules through the IPs

Is there any way to make ping work properly?

Is your outbound nat set up to use this VIP?
