Subnet Routing for a /27 Subnet on a Single WAN

seanbdesign

Hello,

I have installed pfSense for a firewall at my datacenter, my datacenter said I can use that for routing my newly purchased /27 subnet. What are the steps I can take to do that on a single WAN? I currently am utilizing a /28 subnet. In detail I have one LAN and one WAN for pfSense. pfSense version 1.2.3-RELEASE. Any help for this matter would greatly be appreciated. I couldn't seem to find any positive answer for this topic anywhere.

Thanks,
~ Sean

Hi Perry,

Thank you for the fast response, my datacenter said to use Layer 3 routing, they routed the subnet to me. They told me I will be the gateway meaning I could specify the gateway in the subnet I want to use. I don't see anyway in pfSense to do that.

Thanks,

Your 'gateway' would be the LAN address. i.e. the servers in the subnet behind the pfsense will have the pfsense LAN address set as their gateway.
