Static IP address provisioning process

@imdarkray thanks, let me try that out tomorrow.

Nopes, as expected pfSense doesn't allow me to configure the WAN (or LAN port twice over) via interface assignment,

 

[albonycal]

Do you have another NIC, or a free port? You could try doing that on a different interface

 

[imdarkray]

@Chip try going to Interface -> Assignments -> PPPs
Add a new PPP with the type PPPoE.

After adding this you can go to Interface -> Assignments and assign the PPPoE to an Interface.

@albonycal@imdarkray I am already getting a v6 address on my PC and devices via TPBB. So frankly I don't want to jump through any more Airtel related hoops and will just let it be.

@Chip offtopic, which machine you are using for pfsense?

The only problem with using x86_64 machines as a router, is power consumption..
UPS backup wont last long if power goes poof

@albonycal you are using one as a router?

 

[albonycal]
