Pfsense and freenas

KOM · Nov 18, 2014, 9:31 PM

So none of them worked at all, especially the IP address-based ones?

Your DNS servers are not the problem. Did you check your System log in pfSense (Status - System Logs) and whatever log FreeNAS has? Are your LAN clients static IP or DHCP?

hi kom

this is from gateways log in pfsense

Fix this. You have duplicate IP addresses.

stephenw10 · Nov 18, 2014, 10:14 PM

Yep. Doesn't get more conclusive than that. ;)
Change the FreeNAS IP.

hi steve and derelict

hi thanks for your reply, i am slow in this field please point me to right direction which ip address you are pointing to and how to change that please. at least my family be able to use there internet properly.

many thanks

Derelict · Nov 18, 2014, 10:33 PM

In FreeNAS hit Network, Interfaces, click your interface, click edit. You need to set it to an unused IP address.

rakeshbaden2hotmail.com · Nov 18, 2014, 10:37 PM

hi derelict

thanks for your reply i might sound silly but may i ask how did you know i have duplicate ip address for freenas.

please if you don't mind

many thanks

stephenw10 · Nov 18, 2014, 10:42 PM

pfSense is telling you in it's log. 'Something is using my IP'. It must be FreeNAS since the issue starts when it boots. It gives you the MAC though so you can check.

Steve

Derelict · Nov 18, 2014, 11:04 PM

Click on Interfaces, Select your Interface, Click Edit.

Glad to see that this issue is almost fixed. This would have gone much faster if we had the correct information from the start with regard to the IP addresses of pfSense and FreeNAS, and if you had a little more knowledge of TCP/IP and networking in general.

stephenw10 · Nov 19, 2014, 6:38 PM

Everyone was there at some point. ;)

rakeshbaden2hotmail.com · Nov 19, 2014, 7:07 PM

hi everybody

first of all i like to say a very big thanks to all for your support. i have got the internet still working with everybody help in here. i got still one small problem with my freenas server i lost my ipmi connection with it. my original problem was losing internet connection once the freenas server comes on. i changed my (IPv4 Default Gateway) and ( Nameserver 1) in freenas under global configuration which was same as my pfsense ip address. but since then i can't use my ipmi connection. any advice please

many thanks

what?? You would want your gateway and name server to be pfsense IP.. What other gateway do you have? What other name server? In a typical setup, all lan devices would use pfsense as their gateway off the lan, and as the nameserver - ie to lookup www.google.com

You need to change the IP of your freenas, not to be the same as pfsense lan IP, ie the big warning pfsense was telling you

"kernel: arp: 02:62:91:00:11:0b is using my IP address 10.0.1.2 on em1"

So what did you change the freenas IP to be?? What IP did you or do you have setup on the IPMI?

Derelict · Nov 19, 2014, 8:37 PM

All IP addresses need to be unique on your network segment. This also applies to your IPMI. You probably need to reboot, get into your IPMI config, and be sure it has been given unique and proper network settings.

stephenw10 · Nov 19, 2014, 8:36 PM

Hmm, raises the possibility that the IPMI interface could have been causing trouble all along. :-\

Steve

Derelict · Nov 19, 2014, 8:38 PM

I'd put my money on the IPMI and FreeNAS now having the same IP.

"freenas kernel: arp: 54:be:f7:66:6c:9a attempts to modify permanent entry for 10.0.1.2 on igb0"

Well that looks like there is a static arp setting for that IP. That mac is registered to PEGATRON CORPORATION 54:BE:F7:00:00:00 - 54:BE:F7:FF:FF:FF, Type IEEE MA-L

What hardware is your freenas running on? Do you have any hardware from that company pegatron?

As to your other error, where did you point your freenas for dns? Those clearly resolve on the public internet without any issues

;; QUESTION SECTION:
;0.freebsd.pool.ntp.org. IN A

;; ANSWER SECTION:
0.freebsd.pool.ntp.org. 150 IN A 65.182.224.60
0.freebsd.pool.ntp.org. 150 IN A 209.118.204.201
0.freebsd.pool.ntp.org. 150 IN A 74.120.8.2
0.freebsd.pool.ntp.org. 150 IN A 50.116.55.65

So you got something wrong with your dns if those are not resolving - or connectivity to your dns.

Lets make this simple.. What is the IP and mask of pfsense, what is the ip and mask of freenas, what is the ip and mask of your IPMI?

Where are you pointing to for dns, gateway?

Derelict · Nov 20, 2014, 7:11 PM

FreeBSD places permanent arp entries in the table for its interfaces. Something else (the device with MAC address 54:be:f7:66:6c:9a) is on IP 10.0.1.2.
