Need help - Unable to set static IP for WAN

[loftystew]

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
