Multi-WAN with Static IPs
-
I have received three static IPs from my ISP, each on a different "scope," as they call it. At the moment, I'm trying to create a dual-WAN setup with pfSense using two of those IP addresses.
The addresses are:
IP Address1: ww.xx.34.170, gateway ww.xx.34.169, subnet mask 255.255.255.252
IP Address2: ww.xx.34.174, gateway ww.xx.34.173, subnet mask 255.255.255.252I connect directly from the modems to the NICs in the pfSense box.
I'm using pfSense 1.2 RC2.
Working through the MultiWanVersion1.2 doc, I set WAN to the first of those IPs, with the given gateway and a /30 (i.e. ww.xx.34.170 / 30). I set OPT1 to the second address, also with a /30 and the given gateway.
When I go to test with ping (from the Diagnostics menu), I can ping both gateways (i.e. ping WAN's gateway from WAN, and ping OPT1's gateway from OPT1). I can ping anything from WAN: my DNS servers, yahoo.com, my web site, etc. But I can't ping anything but the gateway from OPT1.
I thought maybe the cable connection wasn't working, so I swapped WAN and OPT1 in the configuration: same problem. Still can ping through WAN, but not through OPT1.
What am I doing wrong? Can pfSense not handle the /30 subnet mask?

try pinging on OPT1 directly the IP of a given address.

Thank you. It turns out that the problem was with my ISP's server configuration. All works now.
