Enable NAT Loopback off

Problem 1

If the above rules on Flex are disabled on reboot the rules are disabled as expected but when you enable them the rules don't work then you reboot then they work.

Problem 2

On a bootup with the rules enabled all works then on USG60W you IP/MAC Binding the Flex200H WAN3 to IP 192.168.254.14 along with the NAT rules to that IP on USG60W wait on a short lease time to have the Flex change IP and test all works then disable the NAT rules on the Flex test again and the rules still work when it shouldn't.

Hi @PeterUK & @Mk88_it,

Thanks for reporting this issue, We will run some tests to check the symptom and update the result to you later.

Hi @PeterUK & @Mk88_it,

I just run the test of Problem 1.
If the above rules on Flex are disabled on reboot the rules are disabled as expected but when you enable them the rules don't work then you reboot then they work.

I just run the test with the follwing steps.
Internet----(10.214.48.46)USG60W----(DHCP: 192.168.254.10)USG FLEX 200H----(DHCP: 192.168.255.40)ZyWALL

Step 1. Disable NAT rules on USG FLEX 200H.Step 2. Reboot USG FLEX 200H. Enable NAT rules on USG FLEX 200H again.

Test Result 1:Failed to access ZyWALL GUI because the ZyWALL's IP becomes 192.168.255.41 after USG FLEX 200H reboots.

Test Result 2:
If I set static IP 192.168.255.40 on ZyWALL, NAT rule is still working after USG FLEX 200H reboots.

Hi Emily,

thanks for your tests but i think your lab configuration is not the same as our beacuse you are testing with only one nat rule.

In my 500h this issue appeared after some rules (5, if i remember right) and currently i have the problem active, for every new nat rule i have to reboot the firewall otherwise it doesn't work.

I can't even access the NAT page via the GUI anymore, all I get is spinny circle and it never loads, tried latest firmware 1.20ADWV.2 still doesn't work, I have 6 rules, I can see them via SSH, but can't figure out how to delete them via command line.

Also GUI pages for VPN > IPSec VPN > Remote Access VPN have no apply button so can't actually change anything

Hello @Zyxel_Emily,

i'm still here! I just installed the new firmware versione V1.20(ABZH.2) on my 500 FlexH

I created a new Nat rule (virtualserver number 14), it didn't work.

I rebooted the device and it started to work!

Do you have any news for me/us?

Thank you
