RE: [pfSense Support] Simple question...Setting LANS Default GW
Chris, yes that helped out tremendously and made sense to me all at the same time! I added static routes for all of the subnets that the router does not sit on, with their gateways being their router interface. Thanks again so much for your help. -Marty From: Curtis LaMasters [mailto:curtislamast...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, February 19, 2009 10:57 AM To: support@pfsense.com Subject: Re: [pfSense Support] Simple question...Setting LANS Default GW Are all 3 of these network behind the LAN interface on PF or do they each have their own interface. If they have their own interface, pfSense sees the as connected routes and directs traffic accordingly, however, if they are all connected via another router behind the pfsense LAN interface, then you would need to create a static route for each network segment on the other side of the connected router to point at its IP address. network 192.168.138.0 255.255.255.0 destination network 192.168.132.0 255.255.255.0 destination Please let me know if that answers your question.

So if you're trying to route traffic from your pfSense box out to the Internet, the default gateway will be the next hop on your WAN subnet's network (hint: this address is provided by your ISP). If, on the other hand, you're trying to handle routing for your LAN clients, the normal default gateway is going to be the LAN IP address of your pfSense box. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: support-unsubscr...@pfsense.com<mailto:support-unsubscr...@pfsense.com> For additional commands, e-mail: support-h...@pfsense.com<mailto:support-h...@pfsense.com> Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org<https://portal.pfsense.org/> - To unsubscribe, e-mail: support-unsubscr...@pfsense.com<mailto:support-unsubscr...@pfsense.com> For additional commands, e-mail: support-h...@pfsense.com<mailto:support-h...@pfsense.com> Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org<https://portal.pfsense.org/>
