Hi all,

 

Been banging my head against the wall trying to get pfSense router (running on mini PC) working with Mercury ISP. Should be straight forward enough. Requirements from Mercury are:

 

DHCP with Dynamic IP enabled

 

NAT enabled

 

VLAN ID=10

 

I set the WAN I/F to DHCP, Set up VLAN ID 10 on WAN port. Default pfSense outbound NAT automatically translates internet bound traffic to the WAN IP address.

 

But I'm not getting a WAN IP address assigned by ISP DHCP and so zero traffic.

 

Would be grateful for any insights or guidance as to what I might be doing wrong.

Success! It was a simple thing (as I suspected) and you were all on the right track. I was assigning the WAN port incorrectly to the NIC. When I looked at the drop down options to assign to the NIC, one of these was VLAN 10 on igc0. When I selected this option - Bam an IP address was assigned by the ISP. I then had some weird behaviour in browsing websites but a reboot of pfSense fixed that. So all good.

 

 

 

Thanks all for your help. Saved me tearing my hair out.
