I am setting up the UTM on a ESXi host in bridged mode at home. I have everything setup and the web filter seems to be working but I am having a few issues. Here is a list of known issues I am still working through:
1 - Once I enabled bridged mode the vSphere Client cannot connect. I get a "An unknown connection error occured. The client could not send a complete request to the server" error. If I shutdown the UTM I can access VMWare again. I can still ping the ESXi host.
2- I am unable to ping my Cisco ASA firewall. I can connect to it through the web interface. I have checked on and off all the ICMP settings and it doesn't seem to make a difference.
I have a Cisco Firewall that I use to connect to my corporate network that also has a phone behind it so I need to keep that in front of the UTM which is my reason for using bridged mode.
Here is my network setup:
Cable Modem --- Cisco ASA --- UTM --- LAN Switch
In VMware I have 2 vSwitches Setup.
Eth0 connects to vSwitch0 which connects to my LAN Switch and also the management of ESX.
Eth1 connects to vSwitch1 connects to the network interface that I have plugged into my Cisco ASA.
The bridged interface in UTM was created from Eth0 & Eth1.
I followed the guide for setting up a bridge and have the ANY - ANY - ANY firewall rule in place.
Thanks in advance for your help!
