Most humble salutations, etc ... I've run through the docs, FAQs and done quite a number of searchs on the BB, not finding this addressed:
Installed S/W: UTM Home 9.312 64 bit (grabbed from site June 19th, 2015).
Installation HW: HP dc7900 Quad Core 64 bit, 4 GB RAM, 160 GB HD
Onboard NIC and Intel PRO/1000 Dual port
During the installation the Dual Port NIC was seen as ETH0 and ETH2, the Onboard NIC as ETH1. I selected to use ETH1 (Onboard NIC) as the Webadmin interface.
The Webadmin docs seem to imply that one can connect a PC ETH port directly to the UTM ETH1 port. After having booted UTM and assured it is in full operation, then I booted the laptop (set for autmoatic DHCP) I get no joy, no address allocation to the laptop.
Question:
1) Does the UTM Webadmin interface ETH1 have a DHCP server waiting to allocate addresses (which docs seem to imply).
If #1, is how it is supposed to work, then what might be preventing the laptop DHCP client from having an address allocated??
2) should that be provided by the LAN side of a small router to which both the laptop and the Webadmin ETH1 port are connected?
I understand that if case #2, then I would need to set up the LAN side of the router to allocate 192.168.2.nnn range, etc.
