BridgeLAN

Sophos User3942

Hi All,

this is my first post and sorry for my poor english :-)

I have an XG Firewall that I configured so:

Port 1 bridged with Port3 

On Port1 I connected my LAN on Port3 I connected a router (IP. 10.0.0.65)

IP on bridge are:

10.10.10.1 / 24

10.0.0.70 / 28

From Firewall console I can ping 10.0.0.65, but from my SERVER01 (IP. 10.10.10.221), I can't ping router 10.0.0.65

Where can be the problem?

Thanks 

Bye

Sergio

    Hi Sergio,

    My guess is because the two ports are bridged, not routed.

    Imagine if you plugged your router and server into a switch - would you be able to ping a router in 10.0.0.65 from a device on 10.10.10.221?

    Can you connect the XG to the internet via ethernet cable?  Or, perhaps you can connect your router to the WAN port of the XG (you will have two layers of NAT, but it will work )

    Regards

    Hi Sergio,

    There's something not right here.

    Did you bridge ports 1 and 3 by Configure->Network->Interfaces->Add->network bridge?  Did you assign it an IP address?

    Then, how did you assign the second IP address?  Is it an alias?

    -or-

    Did you not bridge the ports, but configure them as two individual ports each with their own IP address?

    Bridged interface = layer 2, like a switch = both ports on same subnet

    Not bridged = layer three, like a router = each port is on different subnet
