Public Subnet in LAN - not working.
-
Hi all, I hope someone can help, I have trawled the interweb and bought the pf bible but I am having no luck whatsoever using public IP's on the LAN.
Current setup.
Gateway Router .129
WAN of pfsense .130
LAN of pfsense .132LAN DHCP Range .133 - .139
In each instance, including the wiki, it says all you have to do is disable Auto NAT, go Manual and delete the auto rules…
Now I know that's way too simple but yet I am lost, can anyone advise?
Regards,
Dvnt.

Can you get more info here?
XXX.XXX.129.x?
Or??
Is there a reason to use public IP? Are you trying to fit pfSense into an existing network setup?
Is this where your are going? "http://pfsense.trendchiller.com/transparent_firewall.pdf"Transparent Bridging? -
I just posted something similar, a guide for 2.0-RC1. That guide is for 1.2.3
Go back to the Firewall category and look for the guide just posted today

Hi and thanks! I believe I have managed to get it working, although I went back to scratch and used the LAN interface instead of OPT1 is there a know issues with using OPT interfaces?
Currently I am testing on PF 1.2.3 but shortly moving onto 2.0-RC2.
Also note that in the link you posted it says to leave LAN IP blank or "none" I had to assign an IP from my subnet to the LAN which isnt ideal but it worked AOK, what did you mean by "none"?
I have also used transparent bridging and is my current method but I would like to use the DHCP server to assign my public IP's.
Another issue I have with the bridging method is posted here http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,37803.0.html if you could have a look and comment on my set up that would be great :)
My IDEAL set up would be…
GW ROUTER = xxx.xxx.89.129
WAN = xxx.xxx.89.130VLAN3 = Management VLAN for wireless AP's (all in layer2 bridge mode) that all clients connect through 192.168.1.0/24
VLAN100 = Local IP subnet/DHCP 10.0.100.0/24
VLAN200 = Public IP subnet/DHCP xxx.xxx.89.140/27 -
LAN and WAN cannot be the same subnet. Check the section of the book that describes means of using additional public IPs, it describes the options in detail.
