Ethernet Bridge

DustyPark

I'm trying to bridge my wlan interface to my eth0 interface but I can't get the wireless interface to show in the list of NICs to add to the bridge. I've tried the wlan interface as seperate and bridged to AP lan. Any ideas?

  • I had the same issue. I upgraded to the latest firmware then reset to factory defaults. After that my wireless interface did show up under Bridge Selected NICs.

    Also I found the KB article slightly incomplete. In my case I wanted to simply bridge the wifi to the existing Internal interface. So rather than create a new interface, I changed Internal type from Ethernet to Ethernet bridge.

    For completeness these are the steps I followed:
    Upgrade firmware (tested on 9.351-3)
    - Management > Up2Date

    Reset to factory defaults
    - Management > System settings > Reset Configuration
    - Click Run Factory Reset Now

    Power on UTM

    Configure basic UTM
    - Run wizard, or
    - Manually create Internal, External interfaces, Internal DHCP, NAT Masq Internal to External, Basic firewall rules for DNS and Web surfing
    - Make sure you can surf the web from a wired connection

    Make a backup (it's much quicker to restore while experimenting)
    - Management Backup/Restore

    Create wireless network as a Bridge to AP LAN
    - Wireless Protection > Global Settings
    - Enable Wireless Protection status
    - Enable Skip automatic configuration
    - Click Apply
    - Wireless Protection > Wireless Networks
    - Click New Wireless Network
    - Enter Network name, ssid and encryption mode details
    - Under Client traffic select Bridge to AP LAN

    Convert Internal to a bridge interface
    - Interfaces and Routing > Interfaces > Interfaces
    - Click Edit on the Internal interface
    - Under Type select Ethernet Bridge
    - Check the new wireless network (along with the Internal eth0 interface)
    - Expand Advanced Bridge and check Allow ARP Broadcasts
    - Click Save

    Associate the Wireless network to the Internal AP
    - Wireless Protection > Access Points > Overview
    - Click Edit on the internal wireless card (LocalWifi0)
    - Expand Wireless Networks
    - Check the new wireless network
    - Click Save
