[pfSense Support] Connectivity Issue with second OPT interface
I am running the 3-27 snapshot of pfsense. I've been testing out adding a 2nd OPT interface that goes to remote sites over a wireless link. A dedicated access point is doing all the wireless stuff, so that is not a responsibility of the pfsense box. Here's my problem though. I can ping remote hosts from the pfsense box and can ping the remote hosts from the LAN interface. Remote hosts show up in my arp table on the pfsense box and remote hosts can see the pfsense box in their arp tables. I have a firewall rule configured to all all traffic going into and coming out of the interface on the pfsense box (Once I get things working, I'll lock this down some). Firewall Rule: Proto * Source * Destination * Port * Gateway * The firewall log shows that the pfsense box is accepting inbound requests, but nothing happens. The remote hosts can't ping the pfsense machine, connect to it in any way, or access resources that lie behind it. I do not have a NAT rule set for this interface, and I'm using Advanced NAT. I don't want to perform NAT on this interface, just routing. The IP of the OPT interface on the pfsense box is 172.16.125.1/24 with no gateway defined for the interface. All of the remote hosts are in the 172.16.125.0/24 subnet and they have the pfsense box set up as their default gateway. The diagnostic = routes page shows the correct interface as for the route to the 172.16.125.0/24 network and also shows a route to each host. Am I missing something that I need to have configured that I don't? My other OPT interface to a dsl connection is working correctly.

Re: [pfSense Support] Connectivity Issue with second OPT interface
It seems we are both having the same basic issue. I am assuming that you are able to connect out via the same OPT2 interface you are trying to connect in thru. I wish I had more answer for you than I am having this trouble too. No one has responded to my emails. If I find the source of my problem, I will let you know.

We have docs concerning multi-wan. Please ensure that you have double checked your settings. http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Multi-Wan/Load-Balancing I run multi-wan at work and it absolutely works.

Re: [pfSense Support] Connectivity Issue with second OPT interface
I know it works. You guys have done great with that. I have WAN, OPT1, and OPT2 working great. I do not know why OPT3 and OPT4 do not. I have tested and checked so much I don't know what else to look for. I have not seen this specific doc. I don't think it existed when I set this up originally. I will go over this one too.

Re: [pfSense Support] Connectivity Issue with second OPT interface
Thanks for the link. I've been looking for a definitive how-to for load balancing. It appears to have more information than some of the other documentation. I'm not, however, actually using the OPT2 as a Wan link. I just want to use it to act, basically, like a separate subnet on the network. All the nodes that connect to that interface are on the same subnet as the interface itself, they can all see each other in arp, and I can ping out from both the pfsense box and the LAN interface and get a reply from the other nodes on OPT2. The problem is that they can't see or ping or connect to either the pfsense machine or to anything on the lan interface. I added a rule to the firewall rules page for this interface to allow all traffic into and out of the interface. And the firewall logs show that connection attempts are accepted. But, none of the remote nodes get responses to their traffic. Vaughn Scott Ullrich wrote: We have docs concerning multi-wan.
