You need a bigger subnet. A /30 only has two usable IPs which you need for each of your servers, that leaves you no IP to use on the pfsense as a gateway.

Thanks!

So 148 is like the .0 in a /24. You can't use it for the gateway. Assign any of the "host" addresses to the interface for that subnet on the pfsense. Eg. .149

Thank you!

/30 is a point to point link. Generally, one end of that link is going to be a router. Or a jump box that you connect to via *another* IP address. 192.168.30.1, default gateway 192.168.30.2 On 192.168.30.2, you’ll add routes or turn on a routing protocol so it knows what other interfaces to send traffic to as it hears from 192.168.30.1. You could sorta kinda fudge this by installing routes on one of the servers, but software routing is not great compared to hardware using an ASIC specifically designed to handle routing.

It's been a while since I've done any sort of networking but I might be of some assistance. Are you using layer 2 or layer 3 switching?

Problem asnwered, thank!

treating network/broadcast addresses as client addresses is something few devices can do (I heard). I never created router-only networks practically, so I never came across this situation so generally I'd say just don't do it, save yourself the trouble
