Cannot ping or access web GUI of XG Firewall but can access console

Hi All,

I have this problem where I can access our xg Firewall through console connected via micro-usb, but I can't ping the firewall nor access it through the web GUI (I know if I can't ping it, I can't access it). The only changes I made before this happened was change the ip address of the lan port. Before this change I could access it no problem. 

When I go to network interface configuration, I can see the ip of the port that I changed.

I have enabled appliance access, I have changed the IP back to its original address, I have restarted numerous times but it still does not want to connect.

Please give me some advice.

  • Hi   Are you able to see the ARP of the end machine which is connected behind XG on XG via the below command?

    #arp -n 

    If the ARP of the machine is showing completed, are you able to PING that machine from the respective LAN Interface? 

    Example command:

    #ping -I PortX X.X.X.X

    Here in the above command, X.X.X.X is the LAN machine IP, and PortX is the Port behind which that machine is connected. (like Port1 or Port2 based on your setup or scenario).

    Is your relevant PortX (LAN Port) showing proper speed and status in CLI?

    console> sh network interfaces

    As no packets are receiving (as per your previous comment) which could be more on physical cable connectivity or ARP or layer 3 (Incorrect IP, network details, etc) would be the cause of the problem.

  • Thx Vishal, I have checked and Port1 which the laptop is directly connected to is showing correct speed of 1000mb/s. There shows that the RX and TX state are getting packets but only kb or bytes. 

    The arp command does not show any other IP other that the router IP, connected on Port4, and IP 128.0.0.1 also on Port4. So I cannot ping the laptop connected.

  • Hi   Please try to plug a laptop directly into any other Interface of the firewall where networks are already configured and update the Laptop IP in that interface network and confirm the status further,if no luck then a support case will be the best way to get it concluded with session and required logs.

  • Hi Vishal, I connected the laptop to port3 which is also a LAN port and it is doing the same. Is there a way to resore a config backup through the console? I made a backup before I started anything.
