Hi All,

I use pfSense to run a DSL Internet connection. I have a DSL modem running in bridged mode plugged into the WAN interface on my pfSense box (a WRAP).

The WAN interface is configured in pfSense to connect using PPPoE through the modem to the ISP. This works flawlessly, all the time. All good so far.

However, the modem also has a web interface that can be used to query 'DSL stuff' (line conditions, SNR etc). To access this, the Ethernet port on the modem is also assigned an IP address and if you point a browser at that IP you can log into the web interface. This works even when the modem is bridging PPPoE traffic. (Still haven't quite got my head around that but that's a question for another time... :-)

My question today is whether it is possible to create a 'local' subnet accessed through the WAN interface. I looked at using static routing to do this but the only WAN interface visible is the bridged PPPoE connection. I can't see the physical WAN interface to configure it or to tie a static route to it.

Is this possible? Can anyone suggest a suitable solution?

Happy to provide further information etc...

Cheers,
David.
