      Hi all,

      I've build the following structure:

       |---------|
       |   WAN   |
       |---------|
            | WAN-IP/24
            |
            |
       |---------|
       | Switch  |
       |---------|
            |
            |
            | bge0 (VLAN 50)
       |---------|
       | pfSense |-------- xl0 (Mgmt-LAN)
       |---------|
            | bge1 (VLAN 600)
            |
            |
       |---------|
       | Switch  |
       |---------|
            |
            |
            | eth0 (VLAN 600)
      |-----------|
      |    PC     |
      | WAN-IP-1  |
      |-----------|
      

      I've assigned 3 interfaces:

      • WAN - VLAN 50 on bge0

      • LAN - VLAN 600 on bge1

      • Mgmt - xl0

      Then I created a bridge (and if) between WAN and LAN.
      All interfaces with config-type "None" and a firewall-rule "Any 2 Any"

      Finally I assigned a WAN-IP-Address to my computer and try to become an answer from the gateway (on the WAN side) - without any success.

      Do anyone have any idea; what's wrong?

      Many thanks in advance
      Best Regards

          System tuneables correct set and NAT fully disabled? Is the pfSense machine real or virtual?
