Hi @ivessm,
You may achieve the goal by configuring a firewall rule setting allowing ICMP packet to device.
Path: USG FLEX > Configure > Firewall
Specify a source IP and destination to "Device".

Jonas - Thanks for your reply.
Yes, I am familiar with adding the PING to a firewall with the USG series of routers by modifying WAN_to_Device and adding the PING Default_Allow_WAN_to_ZyWALL group.
But I'm now trying to add the same thing to a USG FLEX 700 router through Nebula and I just can't figure out what to put in the blocks.
I'm under USG FLEX > Configure > Firewall and clicked Add under Security Policy here are the fields and my guess at what to put in them:
Name: PreFilled: SF_ rest is free text for my name
Action: Allow
Application Patrol / Content Filtering Policy (PRO): As this is a PRO feature I suspect I could leave this BLANK
Protocol: Any
Source: Any
Destination: Any
Dst Port: Any
Schedule: Always
Description: Free text field
This does not work and there was no Default settings like there is with the earlier USG series routers.
I have not been able to find a good document covering Nebula and the field descriptions and entries for this USG FLEX 700.
Thanks again for any input.

I did get a reply fm ZyXEL TS. Here it is:
I'm under USG FLEX > Configure > Firewall > Security Policy here are the fields to fill in for ICMP protocol on the WAN ports
Name: PreFilled w SF_: SF_ICMP
Action: Allow
Application Patrol / Content Filtering Policy (PRO): As this is a PRO feature I suspect I could leave this BLANK Yes, BLANK
Protocol: ICMP
Source: Any
Destination: Device
Dst Port: Any
Schedule: Always
Description: Free text field
That turned on PING response on both WAN ports. It is recommended that you narrow down the Source from Any to specific IP addresses so you don't respond to any source that pings your IP.
I'm still looking for where this is all documented. I would rather read about it and try and learn it than contacting TS.
Hope this helps someone.
