Hello,
First time poster here, I think I have the right channel. Also first time setting up a proper firewall, so forgive my likely basic question. I have taken a good look around on the forum and more generally on the internet, to no avail.
I have successfully installed OPNsense on my HP ProLiant DL380 G7 (henceforth home-server-1), however the web GUI is not accessible at 192.168.1.1. I can not ping home-server-1 from other machines on my network, or ping other machines on my network from home-server-1 via the "Ping Host" option in the OPNsense menu. I have tried rebooting home-server-1, and rebooting the modem, neither have had any effect.
I am not sure what to do at this point, and suggestions would be very appreciated. Thank you for your time. I am happy to provide any further information needed or run any tests needed.
You ran through assigning interfaces and setting interface IP address I presume, so your interfaces and IP addresses should be noted above the menu, to verify these are as you expect. If things are awry then reset to factory defaults also exists in that menu.
Though I am no expert I have found initial setup of a couple of Opnsense instances on bare silicon to be pretty straightforward by following the dots. Finding what is wrong and getting this one going will happen.
modified after I remembered that the information is displayed in the console, so ifconfig is superfluous :-[
Thank you. The issue was resolved.
