Hi,
I'm trying to use ASG as a bridging firewall to block DHCP traffic between 2 networks I have.
In March this year I had this setup (version 7.something) working in a VMWare workstation, but now I got a full blown ESXi server with vCenter at my disposal, I decided to rebuild this setup on the ESXi server.
Thing is, I can't seem to get it working again...
Here's my situation:
- Network A:
--- router on 192.168.2.1
--- DHCP pool start at 192.168.2.2
--- DHCP pool stop at 192.168.2.49
- Network B:
--- router on 192.168.2.51
--- DHCP pool start at 192.168.2.52
--- DHCP pool stop at 192.168.2.99
Now I could connect Network A & B just by using a cable between the two switches, however that would result in host of network A receiving DHCP leases from the router on Network B and vice versa.
So what I need between network A & B is a bridge which will filter out DHCP requests. And it is what i DID have working back in March this year until some months ago.
Sadly I've deleted the old VM running the working ASG configuration, so I can't check what I had configured back then...
The situation I have now is that ASG connected via eth0 to the switch of Network A, and connected via eth1 to the switch of network B.
If I bridge those connections (creating br0), and set an 'any - any - any : allow' rule, I cannot ping A-hosts from B-hosts and vice versa.
So my conclusion is that br0 on ASG is not forwarding any packets at all.
On the other hand however, the log files don't show any traffic being dropped...
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
thanks a million !
