Configure the firewall to forward traffic and discard invalid packets.
Configure the firewall to forward traffic and discard invalid packets.
By default on the new RB5009, a firewall rule blocks all Forward traffic marked as connection state Invalid. This prevents one of my VLANs from reaching another device directly on the same switch, such as trying to access webfig on the RB5009. The routing for that connection is handled by the RB5009 itself. Removing this rule would restore connectivity between the two devices. The RB5009 functions as the edge device connected to your ISP modem. Disabling the rule doesn’t introduce external traffic risks; it only affects internal VLAN communication.
