8800AXL R2 - access UI in bridge mode

[Sarc1942]

Hi guys,

Just received a 8800AXL R2 this morning, and can't for the life of me figure out how to access the UI over the network when it's set to bridge mode.


I've got a Unifi security gateway as the router on 192.168.1.1, and the 8800AXL is on 192.168.0.254 and set to bridging with DHCP off. Internet works fine, but I would like to be able to access the 8800AXL's UI over LAN.

I know I will probably have to set up up a static route on the 8800AXL, but every time I try to set one up, it tells me 'Unable to add rule'.

If anyone could help me out with this, I'd be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Figured it out, I'll post what I did below.


Changed the 8800AXL IP to 192.168.2.1

Created a static route in the UniFi Security Gateway to 192.168.2.2/24 as shown here (it's for the Draytek Vigor130, but works fine for the 8800 too):

Created a static route in the 8800AXL:

IPv4
Destination IP - 192.168.0.0/16
Gateway - 192.168.2.2
Interface - br0
Metric - 3

You can then access the UI through it's IP address of 192.168.2.1 over LAN.

Cheers
