ENCS Virtual Networking - Connecting FTDv to Physical LAN

[AJ Cruz]

Trying to figure out how to connect the inside interface of my FTDv running in a ENCS5412 to my LAN.

My physical external switch has vlan 9 with an SVI and g1/0/15 configured as a trunk allowing all vlans. Confirmed Spanning tree is forwarding vlan 9 on g1/0/15 and the vlan is not pruned.

My ENCS switch has vlan 9 configured, g1/7 is configured as a trunk allowing all vlans, connects to external switch g1/0/15.

lan-br bridge connects to int-LAN interface.

lan-net is configured as a trunk, includes vlan 9, vlan 1 is the native vlan and connects to lan-br bridge.

My frewall inside interface connects to lan-net on g0/1, has a sub-interface g0/1.9 tagged with vlan id 9.

When the firewall first boots, I see the g0/1 mac address show up on g1/0/15 of my external switch on vlan 1.

After 5-ish minutes the mac address disappears (no configurations change) and never comes back.

The FTDv interface is never ping-able from the external switch SVI.

Does anything I described sound wrong? Something I missed?

Thanks.

Well this must be a problem with my FTDv VM.

To test I deployed a 8000v and connected it to the same lan-net network. Configured a sub-interface on vlan 9 and was able to ping to my external switch no problem.
