      Hi All,

      I have two separate /27 networks that are provided to us by virgin media. There is a Cisco router in front of our PFsense firewall that controls failover between two lines. We get presented both of these networks through one network cable on the same VLan.

      I cant seem to add a Carped IP in the second network with an error saying its not in the first range. I have tried adding the second range to the same interface but it complains about it already being used.

      How would I go about adding these IP's to the same interface?

          So you want to remove the Cisco and hook up both subnets directly to pfSense?

          If it ain't broke, you haven't tampered enough with it

            No the cisco kit is not owned by us and it does failover between our primary line and a backup one so we cant remove it.

            We are only presented one cable that has both subnets using the same vlan.

              From what you describe i'd use an "Alias" type virtual IP.

              We do what we must, because we can.

                thanks GruensFroeschl

                Does a IP Alias fail between two pfsense boxes like a carped address would do, or would I have to add the network as an IP Alias and then single carped addresses for each of the IP addresses?
