2 Internal LAN

[Jackstone]

Hello!


 I defined 2 networks on my Zentyal.

  eth0 = 10.6.19.0/24
  eth1 = 10.6.20.0/24

 They are defined as networks "internal ".

 My question is:

  Is it normal for there have no connection between the two networks?

  Is it necessary to define a "bridge"?

  From one of the two networks, I can not even ping one machine from another network.

 Yet the rules of the firewall are left by default


 Thank you in advance

Do you need different address ranges? If not just make a bridge and put them both in the bridge. It simplifies the network.

I have 4 NICs in mine and 3 of them are bridged. (The 4th one goes out to the internet connection.)

The whole point of having different network addresses is precisely to separate the networks, but now you want to bridge them? If you really want to do that, why not use a netmask of 16-23 bits? That would save you from having different network addresses and have to run additional configurations.

one aspect is for sure pure network stuff (IP addresses, mask...) but you should also keep in mind that you have firewall in the middle.
I didn't check yet but would be surprised if default FW rules are permitting direct and transparent connectivity between devices on these 2 different networks. This would made FW in the middle useless and configuration equivalent to "bridged" one.
