login by OPT port
-
i can login to my sg-1100 with my computer connected to the LAN port, but not the OPT port. does it have a different address or what am i doing wrong?
-
You need to enable and configure the OPT port first, then add Firewall Rules.

how do i do that?

What exactly are you trying to accomplish with the OPT port?

@Rico
i want to use it to connect to another computer that is isolated from one connected to the LAN port. -
Interfaces > OPT
Make sure it is enabled.
IPv4 Configuration Type > Static IPv4 > Static IPv4 Configuration choose an unused subnet, e.g. 10.100.1.1/24
hit SAVEFirewall > Rules > OPT
Add Source any Destination any for testing. If everything is working you can restrict it down.-Rico

@Rico
i had to use 10.100.1.1 because it said 10.100.1.0 was in use.
everything seems to be working except i still can't login to the sg-1100.
if i go to 10.100.1.1 , it times out.??

Your Client gets an IP out of that 10.100.1.0 network after connecting to OPT?
Check Services > DHCP Server and make sure it‘s running for the OPT Interface.-Rico

@Rico

Glad you have it working now.

@yodar44 said in login by OPT port:

10.100.1.0 /24 is the network address and not used for devices. With IPv4, the lowest and highest addresses, within a subnet, are not available for use.
