3 gateways please HELP

shera037 · Dec 30, 2005, 12:52 AM

I have 3 links to ISP and I wont to do outgoing load balancing.

It look

gw-isp1 static IP1
ISP1 –--------------- router-----------------
dinamic IP1       -
      -
      -
gw-isp2 static IP2       -
ISP2------------------router------------------------ pfsense <-> load balanced traffic ----------- router (access control) <-> users (static IPs)
dinamic IP2       -
      -
        -
gw-isp3 static IP3     -
ISP3------------------router--------------------
dinamic IP3

Can pfsense do this and how ???

Please write an example

Thanks in advance

You need static IPs on WAN or at least static gateways. You can fake that with simple gatewayrouters in front of the pfsenses wans (like pppoe-modem-routers if the connection is pppoe). Search the forum, this has been discussed before and there are even examples for such a configuration somewhere (like here http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=226.0 ). For additional help in setting this up check this article in the wiki: http://wiki.pfsense.com/wikka.php?wakka=OutgoingLoadBalancing

I think that I already do that with routers (mikrotik) in front of the pfsense ??? Did I ???
I have static GWs (routers IPs)

My config is

ISP_1–----router_1 (static IP_1 192.168.0.1/24)---------+
ISP_2------router_2 (static IP_2 192.168.2.1/24)--------pfsense -----router_4 (access controler)----users
ISP_3------router_3 (static IP_3 192.168.3.1/24)---------+

pfsense config

LAN - 192.168.1.1/24
WAN_1 (connected to router_1) - IP 192.168.0.2/24 static GW=ROUTER_1 (IP address)
WAN_2 (connected to router_2) - IP 192.168.2.2/24 static GW=ROUTER_2 (IP address)
WAN_3 (connected to router_3) - IP 192.168.3.2/24 static GW=ROUTER_3 (IP address)

Is this config ok for this scenario ???

If is not can someone tell me where I go wrong ???

All OK NOW ;D

Mistake was in load balancer pools.
