      Hi All,
      This is my first post on this forum.
      I have downloaded pfsense installed it and and set up my WAN interface, but it never asked me for LAN interface.
      The WAN interface is not getting any ip from DHCP. So how can i manually do that.
      P.S: I can work with CLI

      Regards

        Which pfSense build? (The name of the file you downloaded will provide that).

        @ssm14293:

        Perhaps you have only one interface recognised by pfSense. (A pfSense 2.1 build will support more interfaces than a 2.0.x build.)

        @ssm14293:

        The WAN interface is not getting any ip from DHCP.

        What is the WAN interface connected to? Perhaps pfSense needs to talk PPPoE to that device! Perhaps the physical connection is broken. Perhaps …

        Please post the output of pfSense shell commands```
        /etc/rc.banner
        ifconfig

        Since you don't seem to have network access to the box you probably can't capture the output in a browser window or terminal window. If you can't, please post photos of the monitor showing the appropriate command and system response, one command per photo.
