            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 SAVE

            Firewall > Rules > OPT
            Add Source any Destination any for testing. If everything is working you can restrict it down.

              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.

                      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.

                      I haven't lost my mind. It's around here...somewhere...
