      I have looked and searched and begged the AT&T folks. They do not want to support pfSense.
      I have had a MetroE circuit up for some time thru Windstream. We are jumping ship and ATT has brought in a new fiber line. They hand off the connection with a Ciena 3930. I am plugged into port 0 as they instructed me to. On the WAN connection my settings were to be 12.52.65.x /255.255.255.252  When I bring it up with that info no problem I can surf although not at the speed we subscribed. I imagine it has to the be the full-duplex setting on the card that I cannot get to stick. I might swap the interfaces because it is a Realtek chip and I have heard of issues.

      So that part is working until I get to the public IP addresses that were assigned to me. 209.37.20.65/27 ( made up the ip addresses but they are similar) I cannot figure out how or what I am doing at this point. I have met my match. When the IP addresses were in all the same subnet I just created CARPs but it will not work for me or I am doing something stupid
      I do appreciate anyone looking at this to give me a hint in the right direction. I'm not looking for spoon-feeding just a general direction.

          You will have to bridge to their network and create VIPs and use VLANs, I'm pretty sure.

          I am on verizon fios here but its DHCP assigned, so a bit different.  In the past I set up a multi-IP fios pfsense and it wasn't so hard.

          But yeah, you need to give details.

          What guide di you try to use?

            this circuit I has a block of IP addresses in the class c range that are supposed to be routed to the other Public Ip in the A class that they gave me. I tried putting in the 12.x.x.x ip address as the DG and using the first IP address in the C class as the IP on the WAN interface. I then put the remaining IP addresses as IP Aliases under CARP settings. I can ping the public IP addresses from the LAN side but cannot ping from a different circuit on the WAN side. When I do trace route it is one hop.

            In review. When I use the 12.x.x.x settings the circuit will start routing and work. Once I told the ATT rep that that was working he went ahead and assigned me the block of IP addresses in the class C range. So I assumed they use the 12.x.x.x to provision the circuit, test it out and then assign the real IP addresses but using the Class C settings as I have for many years results in no surfing. The only thing I could get from the tech was I need to put the 12.x.x.x IP address as the DG. The graphic below is a sample config from a Cisco
