I have had an issue the past few years with PFSense I have never figured
out. Im sure its something Ive setup wrong.
I have a variety of PFSense firewalls/routers and have the same issue with
ALL of them regardless of version or how many interfaces they have.
In one example:
LAN - 172.16.x.x
CORE - 192.168.x.x
WAN - XXXXX
A workstation on the LAN can ping, http, telnet, ftp, ssh etc.... a device
on 192.168.x.x network located on the CORE network. It cannot SNMPWalk or
SNMPSet. If I take the same workstation, set its ip to 192.168.x.x and jack
it into the CORE switch (so it bypasses any NAT/Routeing/Filtering) I can
do anything with SNMP I want on the remote device.
I do have SNMP enabled on the actual firewall so we can monitor it but I
have tried turning it off to make sure there was not something getting
mangled there.
I have also setup a specific outbound NAT rule for the LAN to the CORE that
sends the traffic out a different 192.168.x.x virtual IP on the firewall and
it behaves the same way. It just times out.
I have also went into the remote device and enabled read/write access for
0.0.0.0/0 instead of 192.168.0.0/16 in case it was an acces restriction and
was seeing the traffic come in from a weird network..
I setup a POS Linksys router with a 172.x.x.x LAN and a 192.168.x.x WAN for
giggles and It works fine setting a workstation behind the Linksys and
connecting remotly to the 192 device.
Any thoughts? Not much in the mailing lists for this so Im sure its end user
stupidity.
Thanks
Tim
