Title: Cannot login via GUI after setting Gateway
Post by: AK on Thursday 29 November 2012, 01:51:05 pm
I am trying out the Endian Firewall Community release 2.5.1 as a Antispam/Antivirus gateway. I want my inbound mail to come to the EFW SMTP proxy which forwards the clean mail to my mail server. After the initial install I connected via https: //ipaddress:10443 and finished up the configuration as Red interface as Gateway mode. After I give the gateway IP of my network and restart EFW I cannot login via https: //ipaddress:10443.

EFW is installed on bare metal PC with a single NIC. My config is as below

                   ISP Router (Wan Interface ISP IP, Lan 192.168.100.0/24)
                         |
                     Switch
                   ____|____
                  |               |
                EFW     Mail Server
192.168.100.23      192.168.100.25

Once I lock myself out the of the GUI, I have to edit  /var/efw/uplinks/main/settings and set the Gateway IP back to the EFW IP .23.

I have looked over in forum and haven't found an answer. Attached is a few screenshots from my configuration.

If someone can tell me how i can fix this issue I greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance for your help.

You want to set it up as a "transparent bridge" ... I think.

Check out a post titled "Transparent Bridge mode of Endian" (I can't post links yet) that seems to have some details on setting up Endian in transparent mode.  It seems that you can't have the same subnet (192.168.100.x) for both RED and GREEN.  But you can have two GREEN NICs set up this way...

Check it out, and I hope this helps!
