1. Why is this required?
For some reason, Truenas Scale default networking config, prevents VMs from being able to ping the local IP of truenas scale host.
An Example:
- Let's say you have this truenas scale host PC called A with an IP address of 10.0.0.48:
- And you have created a virtual machine, which has an IP of 10.0.0.49:
- If you enter
ping 10.0.0.48
on the VM, it would not be able to get a response - In order to fix this, a bridge interface needs to be created.
