SOLVED can't get bridging to work for VM's to talk to Host

[Evan Richardson]

trying to set up a bridge in scale (22.02.3) and it doesn't seem to work. I did everything from the CLI

followed this doc:

Docs Hub | Accessing NAS From a VM

Accessing NAS From a VM

www.truenas.com

The steps I took were:

1. remove IP address ( 192.168.1.54/24) from eno1
2. apply /persist network
3. create Bridge interface, named br0 (per docs). assigned eno1 to it, set alias as 192.168.1.54/24
4. applied/persist network

Unable to ping. I've tried everything I can get make this work, but i just can't reach 192.168.1.54/24 when the BR0 bridge has the ip and not eno1, even though eno1 is part of it:

I also tried setting dhcpv4 on the br0 bridge, but no dice either. any thoughts?

Update: this link: https://www.truenas.com/community/threads/network-bridge-not-working-on-22-02-rc-2.98401/post-681642

fixes it. It has to be done via the UI, doing this all via the CLI doesn't work.

mine only worked via the CLI. weird.
