Description
Hi
I tried to install the pfsense 2.0 with the following configuration:
Netopia router with PPPoE Ip Forward to pfsense. The problem is, that the provider (Swisscom, Switzerland) assignes the fixed IP Address located in an other subnet than the gateway is. Ip: 200.x.x.x/32 GW: 195.x.x.x
Netscreen 5GT can handle this, but with pfSense there is a routing problem.

search before write!
see ticket Bug #970,Bug #972
Gateways outside of the interface's IP subnet, on Ethernet links, cannot be added under normal circumstances as it's not really a valid config and FreeBSD won't add the default gateway as normal, and will not issue ARP requests for IPs outside of directly connected subnets. The work around to add such a gateway is to run:
- route add -net gatewayip/32 -iface em0 -cloning
- route add default gatewayip
