Hi,
Already have looked at this. But still can't get it to work.
This is what I have tried:
- Reset the OpenWRT router to factory settings
- Change the default OpenWRT
LAN IP
to the same network aspfSense LAN
(192.168.8.253/24
), then connect a laptop (with an IP address of 192.168.8.10) to its LAN port and can accessLUCI
and can alsossh
- Now disable DHCP Server via ssh
uci set dhcp.lan.ignore=1
uci commit dhcp
/etc/init.d/dnsmasq disable
- Disable DHCPv6 Server
uci set dhcp.lan.dhcpv6=disabled
uci set dhcp.lan.ra=disabled
uci commit
/etc/init.d/odhcpd disable
/etc/init.d/odhcpd stop
- Disable Firewall
/etc/init.d/firewall disable
/etc/init.d/firewall stop
- Apply changes
/etc/init.d/network reload
Now, if I connect the pfSense to WAN port
on the router, it gets a DHCP address
from the pfSense LAN
network (192.168.8.111) on its WAN
. and I can then access the router at 192.168.8.111 address and not the 192.168.8.253 address that I statically assigned earlier.
But if I connect the LAN cable from pfSense box to one of OpenWRT LAN ports, I can't ping the 192.168.8.253 either which as mentioned above was statically assigned to OpenWRT LAN.
What am I doing wrong???
All I want is OpenWRT to become a dumb AP. Devices connecting to it should get their IP assigned by pfSense
How do I achieve this in clear and step by step process?
