Unable to ping clients from pfsense but assigning dhcp
-
Hi,
I have been trying to add a new interface to our existing pfsense setup but I am unable to ping clients from this interface via pfsense however it is assigning a dhcp address to clients
I setup a laptop attached to the same switch as WLAN is plugged into and it was assigned a 172.16.1.10 dhcp address and I can ping the pfsense box on 172.16.1.1 and 172.16.1.2 however I am unable to ping the laptop on 172.16.1.10 from pfsense WLAN interface. I can ping clients on 192.168.2.x range from WLAN and WLAN_VIP
Simplified Setup:
1 server 2012 with dhcp
1 pfsense
2 LAN
1 WANWAN int1 x.x.x.x going to pfsense
LAN int2 192.168.2.2 going from pfsense to core switch
WLAN int3 172.16.1.2 going from pfsense seperate switchLAN_VIP 192.168.2.1
WLAN_VIP 172.16.1.1DHCP Relay setup on both LAN interfaces and both are assigning DHCP addresses as expected
WAN int1 rules
- RFC 1918 networks * * * * * Block private networks
- Reserved/not assigned by IANA * * * * * * Block bogon networks
LAN int2 rules
IPv4 * * 192.168.0.0/16 * WAN
WLAN int3 rules
IPv4 * * * * * * none

why do you have gateway setup on lan?
I would look to software firewall rule on laptop if you can not ping it, but it can ping pfsense .

nailed it..only had firewall blocking public networks so our internal 192.2 was working fine..doh!
Thanks!!
