Do i need to bridge EthX interfaces

mcai8rw2
Hello again,

I have a small PC with 4x NICs.

In UTM9:

Eth0 is the WAN (picks up an external address)
Eth1 is the INTERNAL DHCP address 192.168.1.1/24
Eth2 not configured
Eth3 not configured

I had *thought* that if i plug a DHCP client into either Eth2 or Eth3 (even though the respective interfaces aren't configured) that said client would assign a DHCP address to that client.

What do i need to configure the Eth2/3 as in order that they pick up DHCP from the main network interface?

Likewise... i am trying to set up a Wireless AP by plugging it into Eth2 or 3. The wireless AP has a static IP of 192.168.1.2 however, when i try to access this IP address from my browser, it times out...Again, what interface configuration steps am i missing to be able to access the WIrelessAP from my wired network?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

    Hi All,

    Thanks again for your input on this.

    I bridged Eth1 ..2 ...and 3. Lo And Behold, DHCP worked on all interfaces once that was set up.

    IN the end though... i reverted everything back and put in a switch. THe idea of using Eth2 and Eth3 as DMZs (Guest wireless or something) was too great.

    Sophos UTM is great. Complicated, but so useful and powerful.

    Now all i need to do is work out how to forward ports for my services....WoW etc...

    That might be another post though! Hahah!
