Help: can't add a bridge

TrueNAS General
,
1

Hi there,

I have some trouble adding a bridge interface to my TrueNAS Scale Dragonfish-24.04.1.1
I currently have 2 network interfaces with static IP:

ens192 - 192.168.0.10/24
ens256 - 10.0.0.2/24

I want to add ens192 to a bridge.
I followed the documentation:

  1. VM’s off, Apps unset pool
  2. remove static IP entry from ens192 and save
  3. add bridge, add ens192 to the bridge, add the static IP 192.168.0.10/24 entry to the bridge, save
  4. Test changes

GUI can no longer be accessed, 60 seconds later it reverts back to original settings.
Bit of a loss as this should work based on the documentation and various videos on the topic.
Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks !

Found the solution…
I’m running TrueNAS on a ESXi Server. The security features of the virtual switch block network access when bride is enabled.

Allowing both Promiscuous Mode Operation and Forged Transmits solved the issue
