Hello List, I have gotten my self in a pickle trying to get my WAN links working and I'm desperate now to get things up an running :)
Scenario: My ISP offer line bonding on their ADSL lines. So I have two lines with them to get things going, then I will add more over time. I have two ADSL lines with them and they split the packets down the lines 50/50 (if I had 3 lines it would be 33/33/33 and so on..) this is done at layer 3, evenly dividing the packets over the active lines for true up and down balancing (so if a line goes down the packet distribution is recalculated over the remaining lines). How can I use pfSense to merge the packets my end, and of course, balance them out on the outbound journey? This is my set up: http://i51.tinypic.com/2qaqyqs.png The 2 ZyXel P-660r ADSL modems are in bridged mode passing all ADSL traffic out their Ethernet interface (my ISP has given me a /29 so the first usable address is assigned to the first modem, the second address to the second modem, the last usable address to the lagg0 interface [say 1.0.0.6], obviously fake IPs used here!). Testing this, it didn't work. Thinking about it now I'm home, that makes sense. The lagg0 interface can only be assigned 1 gateway, not both, so it cant balance across both lines. I guess it thought it would balance across both lines thinking they both terminated at say 1.0.0.1 for example. What options exist in pfSense for this (if any?). Many thanks for your time, sorry for such a long post everyone :) -- Regards, James. http://www.jamesbensley.co.cc/ There are 10 kinds of people in the world; Those who understand Vigesimal, and J others...? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
