Hello all.
I'm having a frustrating issue getting GUI access from my OPT1 management interface on a new mini-PC. I'm trying to set up a transparent bridge between my modem and my ASUS router, and I've hit a wall with management access. I've tried all the standard troubleshooting steps, but nothing seems to work.
Here's my setup and what I've tried:
My Hardware & Configuration
* Mini-PC: Intel N150 with 4 Intel 2,5 gbps Ethernet ports.
* Interfaces:
* igc0 (WAN): Will connect to modem.
* igc1 (LAN): Will connect to ASUS router.
* igc2 (OPT1): Dedicated management port.
* Router: ASUS GT-AX11000 Pro on 192.168.50.1.
* Goal: Access OPNsense GUI on igc2 via static IP 192.168.50.254.
What I've Done (and Checked)
* Initial Setup: I installed OPNsense and assigned igc0, igc1, and igc2 to WAN, LAN, and OPT1 respectively.
* IP Address: I set a static IP of 192.168.50.254/24 on the OPT1 interface.
* Physical Connection: My computer is connected directly to the igc2 port.
* PC IP: My computer has a static IP of 192.168.50.100 on the same subnet.
* Firewall Rules: I added a pass rule on the OPT1 interface to allow access to This Firewall (self). I even tried a temporary "allow all" rule. I disabled 'reply to'
* Troubleshooting:
* I ran ping 192.168.50.254 from my PC; it fails with 100% pack. lost.
* I ran ping 192.168.50.100 from the OPNsense shell; it also fails with 'host is down' msg.
* I've confirmed the physical link lights are on.
* GUI is listening to ALL devices.
* I tried a dry fit test leaving everything on 192.168.1.1 and setting up the OPT1 on static 192.168.1.254. No luck as well. GUI works from 192.168.1.1 but not from 192.168.1.254.
My Problem:
Despite what seems to be a correct configuration, there's no communication between my computer and the OPNsense box on the OPT1 interface. The ping failure suggests it's not a firewall issue but a more fundamental problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Is there a common issue I'm missing with these Intel NICs?
