Re: [pfSense Support] Monitor IP in gateway, strange behavior
I`m sorry, maybe i wasn`t clear... when i said 2 WAN i mean 1 WAN and 1 OPT1 LAN = Switch internal network WAN = ADSL OPT1 = CABLE MODEM Everything is working fine, with load balance between the links, redundancy etc... the issue is only with the IP to test if the gateway is up or not (System/Routing/Gateway/Edit/Monitor IP) []`s Diego - Original Message - From: Chris Buechler cbuech...@gmail.com To: support@pfsense.com Sent: Wednesday, August 17, 2011 5:42:12 PM Subject: Re: [pfSense Support] Monitor IP in gateway, strange behavior On Wed, Aug 17, 2011 at 5:45 PM, Diego Barrios s...@techsystem.com.br wrote: Hi folks, I`m not sure if this could be a bug, but i`ve just installed a new PFSense 2.0RC3 (latest snapshop) with 3 NICs, 1 LAN + 2 WAN When i use the same monitor IP on both WANs You can't do that.

Everything is working fine, with load balance between the links, redundancy etc... the issue is only with the IP to test if the gateway is up or not You have to have a SEPARATE IP for each monitor address... If you are going out through the same gateway, than traceroute out on the net somewhere and see if you can ping some local routers along the way. Put their IP in as a monitor address. Pick one with as few hops as you can find.

Thanks Tim, that`s exactly what i did. Took different IPs to monitor in the same remote net (same latency time) Diego - Original Message - From: Tim Dickson tdick...@aubergeresorts.com To: support@pfsense.com Sent: Wednesday, August 17, 2011 7:10:01 PM Subject: RE: [pfSense Support] Monitor IP in gateway, strange behavior Everything is working fine, with load balance between the links, redundancy etc... the issue is only with the IP to test if the gateway is up or not You have to have a SEPARATE IP for each monitor address...
