[SOLVED] PPPoE + Static address on the same interface

[samm]

Hi,

Im using pfSense 1.2 with 2 channels - WAN (PPPoE) and optional (static). Everything works very good (including load balancing, port forwarding, firewall, etc) but i have one minor problem. ADSL modem is configured in Bridge mode, with PPPoE client on pfSense side. Problem is that in this mode im not able to access modem interface (e.g. to gather DSL statistic). If im adding interface alias in shell (like "ifconfig sk1 alias inet 192.168.3.2 netmask 255.255.255.0") then im able to access modem from the router (but not from lan). If i`m trying to setup routing to WAN for this net - then all packets are going to the ng0 (PPPoE) interface, but not to the sk1 (WAN). Is it possible to make modem available from the network? LAN uses different net (192.168.2.0/24) so this should not be a problem. Only problem is to add working route to ethernet interface, and not to ng0. I tried to play with virtual servers, without any success.

Hi all,
I am having a problem with the above solution.
I have the same situation, modem in bridge mode on the wan side of my pfsense box using pppoe.
The difference is I'm using 1.2.3 release embedded.
In order to install the redir package I have remount the filesystem as RW.

[1.2.3-RELEASE]                                                                 
[admin@fire.box]/root(9): /etc/rc.conf_mount_rw
[1.2.3-RELEASE]

However no joy. Any suggestions?

Must have been a typo on my part because now it seems to be working just fine!  ::)
