Watchguard Firebox X550e Allow Traffic Between Trusted Interfaces
Hi There,
I have a Watchguard Firebox X550e device.
I have added a second 'Trusted' Interface so that an additional network can be used for security cameras and their server.
eth0 External (Internet) Static Public IP Address
eth1 Trusted (Internal LAN) 172.29.199.253/25
eth2 Trusted (Internal Camera Network) 192.168.1.10/24
I have managed to allow access to the Security Camera Server (192.168.1.50/24) from an external source IP without any problems, but I am not able to allow traffic between the 2 Trusted Internal interfaces. I would like to be able to allow Any type of traffic via Any port between the 2 Trusted interfaces. I have created the following policy in an attempt to allow this:
Policy Type = Any
From = Any-Trusted
To = Any-Trusted
This will not allow the Security Camera Server (eth2) to access a device on the Internal LAN Network (eth1) which is what is required.
So... what exactly do I need to do in order to allow the 2 internal networks to communicate as if they were 1?
Any Help will be greatly appreciated! :-)
Many Thanks!

Can you enable the rule as i said, and then look in the watchguard traffic monitor?
to see if there is anything blocked?

Be careful with the auto ordering. If you are trying to ping, which is port specific, it will be placed higher in the list than the rule that allows any traffic. Then you would never get to your rule for trusted any to trusted any.
Hardware Firewalls
Hardware-based firewalls provide more sophisticated protection for inbound and outbound traffic than the simple Windows software firewall or the basic NAT firewalls found in routers. These devices implement techniques such as stateful packet inspection, deep packet inspection, and content filtering; and may include built-in antivirus and anti-malware protection.
