RAX120 derrière un firewall - quels sont les routes à mettre en place
Bonjour, Je viens de brancher et de configurer le routeur wifi RAX120 Dans un premier temps en le branchant directement à Internet sur la box, Dans un second temps derrière un FireWall (PfSens...
If pfsense is managing your dhcp, try setting the RAX120 up in access point mode. It prevents a double nat.
Hello
Currently I am using both
- PFSENSE with DHCP Service and then allowing only one dedicated IP Address to the Netgear router.
- The routeur is plugged directly on the Firewall on the ethernet port.
When, the wifi netgear router is plugged directly on the box (fibre modem) then no problem for routeur, the interface status is showing connected to internet and also the traffic is working.
But, when behind the firewall pfsense, then the router interface status is showing not connected to internet.
Nevertheless, devices connected in Wifi can access to internet.
When I look on logs firewall, I saw that the router try to contact public ip address with ICMP protocol.
Maybe to get the status of the Internet connection.
Then my question, does the router need specific rules to communicate with Internet ?
Thanks
PS : currently the router is configured as router, not in access point mode.
I will try, but not sure it will solved.
