      Hi,

      I'm having problem trying to set static IP given by my ISP on WAN.

      The following are the static IP information given by my ISP:
      IP Address : 103.247.AAA.xx9  
      Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0  
      Default Gateway : 103.247.AAA.1

      What I set for static WAN on pfsense:
      IP address: 103.247.AAA.xx9/32
      Add a new Gateway: 103.247.AAA.1 (set as default)

      However, it's doesn't seems to work. I can't browse the internet.

      When I check the system log, I see the error message: 'kernel: arpresolve: can't allocate llinfo for 103.247.AAA.1'.

      In addition, when I check the status of the added gateway, it is shown as 'offline'.

      What can be the problem?  :'(

      Thanks in advance.

        In the information supplied by your ISP you have:
        Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0

        But what you are setting on the WAN interface is:
        IP address: 103.247.AAA.xx9/32

        These are not consistent because 255.255.255.0 is /24

        Try changing your WAN netmask to 255.255.255.0 or /24
