Greetings all, I have been trying to set up a X2200 with a global zone on an internal LAN with bge0, and two zones for web servers each having a private IP address on the nge interfaces.
While I was able to bring up both zones and ifconfig the interfaces, after that nothing worked. Couldn't ping in or out or do anything with them. No arp information was being gathered. The same interfaces configured directly into the global zone with the same IP numbers worked fine. I can't see what I've done wrong, can anyone see what the problem might be? I need this to work...
