<![CDATA[Unable to see individual IP addresses from client machine in pfsense]]>Hie guys, am stuck and I need assistance from someone out there. I have setup pfsense 2.1.3 on my network and it seems pfsense cant display any of the individual client IP addresses on my network. I have the following setup:

mtl fiber converter modem(internet) =>pfsense2.1.3 => cisco 2800 series router => Cisco catalyst 3560G series( configured with 5Vlans) =>> client pcs

mtl converter default gateway address:
41.87.6.121/29

Pfsense interface setup
Wan ip address = 41.87.6.124/29
Lan ip address = 172.22.30.230/29

Cisco router interface setup
Outside ip address => 172.22.30.229/29
Inside ip address =>172.22.30.2/26

switch interface setup
ip address =>172.22.30.0/26
Vlan1 =172.22.31.0/24 'for all the client machines
vlan2 =172.22.30.64/26 servers

From this setup, the problem is coming in when I want to monitor clients activity in pfsense. Instead of viewing the individual client addresses I happen to only see the IP address for the outside port of the router as the source of the packets. I actually dont know where am going wrong. Your support guys will be appreciated greatly guys.
