Hi all, I have a pfSense 2.0 box connected to an ASDL modem running as a MPoA bridge. Basically the ADSM modem does some unspecified manipulation and presents the public IP to the LAN connection via DHCP along with gateway etc. information allowing the pfSense box to get out onto the internet.
When this works fine it's great but unfortunately I've been getting quite a few disconnections and I'd like to be able to access the modem's web-interface so I can check on line conditions, sync speed etc. What I need to do is add a second IP address to the WAN interface and then allow routing to that interface something like the instructions listed here http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Accessing_modem_from_inside_firewall. However as the ADSL service is NOT using PPPoE pfSense sees the internet connection as a simple LAN connection, meaning the section for pfSense version 2.0 isn't applicable and the version 1.x isn't going to work due to the NAT changes between versions. Adding the 2nd IP address is simple - I can use the shell and ifconfig or change the alias address in the WAN interface configuration and add in the correct network subnet. I can prove this works by pinging the modem from the pfSense box - what I can't figure out is how to make that alias network accessible from the LAN. In short I'm trying to assign an network alias of 172.16.255.0/24 to the WAN interface and route traffic from the LAN to it: pfSense ADSL Modem Internet via DHCP --------- ADSL network Alias of 172.16.255.200 Web interface on 172.16.255.201 Just in case it makes any difference my internal networks are all 172.16.0.0/24 networks as well. Can anyone help? Thanks, Philip Sharpe _______________________________________________ List mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pfsense.org/mailman/listinfo/list
