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
