XG Software Appliance Deployed In Bridge NAT question

BrianOlson

Greetings to all,

 

I have deployed a software appliance in bridge mode running as a guest inside VMWare ESXI. I had a question as to why the appliance deploys the default network policy with NAT MASQ enabled ?

 

Is this needed for something related to the policy ? 

 

Thanks

Brian

    Hi Brian

    every policy with destination Zone WAN has MASQ enabled - just to help you because it is a common issue that someone creates a Policy that allows Webtraffic and is wondering why it doesn't work even the Firewall Log shows allowed traffic.

    PS. in Bridge Mode in VMware check your vSwitch Portgroups Security settings - if Promiscuous-Modus is strict the vSwitch will drop bridged Packets.
