Cant see modem using static address on wan.
-
dsl modem is a bridge only. No login of any kind available on it. http://www.zoomtel.com/techsupport/adsl/adsl_5615.shtml
ISP has me set up as static "bridge mode".
They provide me an address, subnet and gateway to configure on my interface.
No ppp of any kind.

I guess you will have to use something like the "option 1" in the document.

I have just replaced my Zyxel ADSL modem/router by a Tenda D820 ADSL modem/bridge. The Tenda doesn't do ppp.
Here's how I setup my pfSense 2.0 BETA 5 snapshot build:
rl0 has two VLANs. OPT5 is VLAN 10 on rl0. pppoe1 is on OPT5. The modem has static IP 192.168.1.1.I configured OPT5 with static IP 192.168.1.2/24.
A ping from the LAN side of pfSense didn't elicit a response from the modem. A tcpdump on OPT5 (# tcpdump -i rl0_vlan10 host 192.168.1.1) showed the ping going to the modem but with a source IP address on the pfSense LAN subnet. Since the modem didn't have any static routes configured (there didn't seem to be any way to configure routes in the modem) the modem probably didn't know where to send the replies. Since I saw ping replies when I ping'd from pfSense, the missing route back to the LAN IP address was probably the reason I couldn't see replies to a ping from the LAN.
As explained in the document I referred to earlier, enabling NAT on the OPT5 should fix the source IP address problem. In the pfSense web GUI: Firewall -> NAT I clicked on the Outbound tab, added a rule Interface=OPT5 Protocol=Any Source=LAN subnet Destination=192.168.1.0/24 Translation Address=Interface Address No XMLRPCSync: Unticked, clicked on button Manual Outbound NAT rule generation (AON - Advanced Outbound NAT) then clicked Save. I don't know if it was necessary but I also went to Diagnostics -> States, clicked on the Reset States tab then the Reset button.
Then I restarted the ping from the pfSense LAN subnet and it reported a response. The tcpdump on the rl0_vlan10 interface showed the ping with source address 192.168.1.2.
Attempts to access the web GUI of the modem time out so I still have a problem but seem to be closer to its solution.
It wasn't particularly obvious to me what the difference between the two Outbound NAT buttons ( Automatic outbound NAT rule generation (IPsec passthrough included) Manual Outbound NAT rule generation (AON - Advanced Outbound NAT)). They seem to mean "Disable the following mappings" and "Enable the following mappings" respectively.
