What does this means: Gateway link#1
-
Hi
I was using pfsens 1.23 with the adsl modem as bridge and pfsense doing thr ppoe dialing…
Now i changed from isp and i have to put the wan interface as dhcp and the modem gives the external ip to the pfsense by dhcp .
This working, but instead of an ip andress in the gateway field i get this "Gateway: link#1 ".I tried pfsense 2.0 beta 12 and with pfsense 2.0 the gateway already apears as ip adress, but strange is not an ip adress from the same subnet as the ip and so it doenst work.....
So question: what mean the "Link#1" how do i gar pfsense2.0 to have the same behavior ?
thanks & please don't flame on the first post !

With PPPoE the gateway doesn't have to be in the same subnet because it's really a point to point link. Because of this, any traffic sent on the wire will be picked up on the other end and handled appropriately.
Why that same info is getting handed over by DHCP, I'm not sure, but why can't you still let pfSense do PPPoE on this new ISP?
Modems in a half-bridge setup like that have historically been problematic.

Hi
i mean why with pfsense i get "#link1" in the gateway and in the pfsense 2.0 i get the ip…
"#link 1" is refering to what ip adress ?I can't use ppoe with this new provider because i need to have inet on the modem because of the voip inside the modem...

"Link #1" is not referring to an IP address, it's referring to the actual link connection. If that shows up as a gateway, it's usually if you are trying to use a /32 subnet mask or some kind of point-to-point connection.
You normally only see "Link #" type entries for your local subnets, not the default gateway.

this appears using a draytek in half bridge mode, but this way will work…....
On Pfsense 2.0 it shows the assigned isp gateway that is on a diferent subnet then it doesnt work........
How to put pfsense 2.0 behaving like 1.2.3 i.e show up ""link!" instead of the isp gateway not on the subnet making everything fail..Regards
