LB1120 Bridge Mode - No Connectivity
Hello, Trying out an LB1120 before installing across three locations as failover devices. Using AT&T and testing behind a consumer Linksys E2500 with default settings. The LB1120 works fine using...
A new firmware has been posted on the update servers that fixes the LB bridge mode issue. To update LB1120, LB1121 or LB2120 to latest Firmware log into the LB web ui and go to Settings àGeneral à Software and Reset once there select check for update and wait then simply follow onscreen instructions to update the Firmware. See below for example of how the LB2120 Firmware Info screen looks like after update. For other device just need to make sure that you are using App Version: NTG9X07C_12.09.05.27
Bridge mode working in pfSense without beta firmware!
The connectivity problem seems to concentrate on a /32 subnet being assigned from the LB1120, and I forgot pfSense has a way to use a user-supplied value in favor of a value by the DHCP server using the supersede modifier as outlined here : https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=dhclient.conf&sektion=5#LEASE_REQUIREMENTS_AND_REQUESTS
In pfSense, place a check in "Advanced Configuration" and then enter "supersede subnet-mask 255.255.255.0" in the Option modifiers field. This supersedes the LB1120's supplied subnet mask of 255.255.255.255 and uses 255.255.255.0 instead.
This creates a working bridge mode. This should work with anything that uses dhclient as well (Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, etc).
Hi,
Can you tell me exactly where you make this setting in pfsense? I sent my LB1120 back to Amazon long ago but kept up with this thread. I am a pfsense fan but must admit I was not aware of this feature. I can't even find where it is set.
thanks
