Bridge Mode - Can't ping devices from XG on local LAN. Local LAN can ping the XG fine

Setting up a XG for my home lab and can't quite understand this.

 

Everything seems to be working as needed but I can't ping or send syslog to anything on the LAN interface. BUT I'm able to ping the XG and pull SNMP from it from a host on the LAN.

 

So Host 1 can ping the XG. But the XG can't ping Host 1.

 

Any thoughts? Arp tables on the XG don't seem incorrect.

  • OK, last questions ....  I see that your "production" interface is a renamed br0.  When you are trying to ping, are you sourcing from that interface?  br0 is the only one in the bridge group that will get a response.

    I'm still confused why your physical interfaces are showing at all.  Did you add them after creating the bridge?  He is mine and working just fine with no other physical interfaces (the wireless is non-functional and installed by default ... with my luck, deleting it would cause some unexpected results!)

  • Believe yours is the same way. If you click anywhere on that bridge pair (just not on the 3 lines icon to the right), it will list the physical interfaces.

    But yes, I'm pinging from that interface. Either Port 1, Port 2, or the bridge itself. Nothing works. But i'm able to ping the interface from another host all day long.

    Ahhh, sure enough.  Never saw that before.
