      I need to migrate one old bsd routers to pfsense

      My ISP is providing 5ips static thru one fiber connections.

      How can i get all 5ips on one wan interface.

      and finally enable the loadbalance as per the instruction on pfsense wiki.

      these are how my old routers handle round robin loadbalance.

      keyrate="fast"
      saver="blank"
      usbd_enable="YES"
      sshd_enable="YES"
      snmpd_enable="YES"
      ipnat_enable="NO"
      inetd_enable="YES"
      mpd_enable="YES"
      sendmail_enable="NONE"
      inetd_flags="-wW -C 60 -a 127.0.0.1"
      gateway_enable="YES"
      ifconfig_fxp2="inet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask 255.255.255.xxx polling up"
      ifconfig_fxp2_alias0="inet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask 255.255.255.255"
      ifconfig_fxp2_alias0="inet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask 255.255.255.255"
      ifconfig_fxp2_alias0="inet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask 255.255.255.255" (These continues to about 5 ext ips

      ourip="{xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx,continues 35 ips}"
      pool1="{xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx,continues 1 ips}"
      pool2="xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"

        I'd be real interested to see a response on this one.  I'm getting a new setup where my ISP will be providing five static IPs on a single cable connection.  If there's a way to support all five IPs on a single WAN port, that'd be ideal.

          You can provide multiple IPs on a single WAN port, that's what virtual IPs are for. You just can't do this kind of loadbalancing if I got the original config of akmis right..

            Well you can do it with nat.
            I do not recall if you can enter aliases on the nat part but if you can than that's the way to do it.
            Though failover is not going to work or i do not know if it makes sense here.
