Routing between 2 pfsenses on the same lan
-
Hi
Sorry if this topic has been covered but I can not seem to find any solution
I have one network i.e same switch, cabling etc
I have one pfsense box with wan address and a 192.168.1.0/24 subnet
I have another pfsense box with a wan address and a 10.0.0.0/24 subnet
they and all the computers are on the same network switch
I would like to be able to route between the subnets i.e 10.0.0.12 be able to ping 192.168.1.150 etc
I have created aliases, gateways, static routes all to no avail, could anyone point in the right direction to try and achieve it would be much appreciated

So you have this - see attached.
And what possible routes did you create? Is your wan a common network? Where is your common network your pfsense use to talk to each other with?
If you pfsense lans are connected to same switch - why they not just using the same network?

You have to take the switch out and replace it with a router. Or Like Johnpoz said you need to put them on the same network. Or if your switch has layer 3 capabilities you can have it do the routing.

More general again:
You need a common subnet between your boxes if you want them to talk to each other ;-)
Either you could just strip another connection between both pfsense boxes, e.g. 10.10.10.0/30, then add static routes. Otherwise you need to add an Alias-IP from the other subnet to the LAN-Adapters of your boxes.
Maybe add 10.0.0.254/24 to your first box or choose a different address. Then you can also add static routes pointing to the other box… or even add the other device as gateway and load-balance ;-)
