Hello Everybody :)
I would like to use the LAGG to bond multiple ADSL lines for a faster,
more reliable internet access (using LACP). To start with I have 2
PPPoA ADSL Modem/Routers each with an Ethernet LAN interface. So I
have plugged both modems into two of my pfSense NICs (lets say em1 and
em2) and NIC em0 is my local LAN inside the pfSense box. em1 and em2
both need an IP address to talk to each modem, for example em1
(192.168.1.1/24)> modem 1 (192.168.1.254/24) and em2 (192.168.2.1/24)
to modem 2 (192.168.2.254/24).
Once I bond em1 and em2 as LAGG0 they become one virtual interface
which I can set as my WAN interface. I'm going to assume at this point
that things will stop working because pfSense uses LAGG0 as a single
interface with a single IP (obviously) which technically is connected
to neither modem? What would be the correct steps for setting this up?
pfSense supports 1 WAN interface so how can I assign two physical
interfaces IP addresses with default GWs and then bond them in the way
I wish to use both Modems/ADSL lines simultaneously?
I feel like I'm not far off but need a little push :)
Personally, my preferred method of doing this would be to actually bond
the ADSL connections using MLPPP. Is this an option that you have explored?
Thanks,
