Like u said, Shorewall tries to consolidate “IP ROUTING” and “system configuration“ into one place with their own Shorewall syntaxt”.
I don’t want to diss on Shorewall, in a Shorewall forum, but if u have to learn “IP ROUTING” and “system configuration” to make Shorewall “work”, then what’s the point of adding another layer on top? This was the philosophical problem I encountered when I tried to make Shorewall work for me. My choice was … just focus on the other two. It was a tough road, I’ll be honest. But, having done it. I’m happy. Maybe there are reasons Shorewall is better? I don’t know what they are. 🤷♂️ Bill Sent from my iPhone > On Jan 25, 2022, at 7:55 AM, William Papolis <wpapo...@gmail.com> wrote: > > What device are you using to configure your vLANs? > > Likely your switch, right? > > Switches can do “bridging” too. > > I would “look there”, if you feel that some bridging is happening that your > switch is facilitating. > > Without a network map, I don’t see how I can help. > > It sounds like u got a lot going on.
