Pfsense Firewall Setup for Static Block of 8 IPs
-
Hi All,
Let me give you brief problem and my setup here in the UK.
My ISP is British Telecom i have Fibre broadband connection with static block of IPs BT supplied modem and wireless router for connection.
The modem connected to the wall socket and the modem connected to the router, BT advised me the router had two networks attached to the router one was dynamic and the other was my static block.
I enabled the static block by single setting within the router and set my static IP and subnet as advised by BT which was 0.0.0.248/29
This would allow me to connect to the router via a 192 address or public address if i connected a work station to the router and set it to obtain IP via DHCP the work station would be issued a 192 address i would go out on dynamic IP address issued to router.
When i connected my pfsense box i would set it to one of my static address 0.0.0.1/29 the router see's the Mac address and static IP I have set and then i would proceed to add the mac address to DMZ zone to forward all ports to pfsense.
Which is all fine works as it should but here is the bumper the BT wirless router went down today so all i have is the modem I have setup pfsense as PPPOe and set user name and pass to logon to BT network.
This has gone to plan i can connect to the internet no problems on dynanic addresss issues by PPPOe
I have setup Virtual Ips proxy/arp for all my static address and setup nat to port forward services to apache cluster 1 all works as expected.
I also can port forward to my 2 apache cluster on second static no problems.
My question is the outbound NAT for each static IP i have set my internal source from Apache cluster 1 which is 192.168.2.2 maps to 0.0.0.249 when i ping to my hired server i can see the correct static address IE 0.0.0.249. But if i do the same from Apache cluster 2 i see culpeck.co.uk pinging the server instead of static IP 0.0.0.250.
If I ping from windows box to hired server and i can see dynamic address issued to pfsense on WAN from BT network sending the pings.
My Second question is there away that i can setup pfsense to allow static IPs and DHCP address on the same wire just like the BT router did. I could set my windows box with public static address or could set it to obtain IP from DHCP, If i set public static address that would be my address but if i set get 192 address from DHCP i would go out on dynamic address issued the router.
I have just two NIC cards in Pfsnese box
Kind Regards
Darren
