Allow ping from USG

Because I keep forgetting and it takes me far too much time to go through one of my million sites where I set this up and find the right config…

To allow a USG (Unifi Security Gateway) to reply to external (WAN) ping requests, do the following:

• Head to the Unifi dashboard -> Settings -> Firewall & Security
• Create a new rule
• Type: Internet Local
• Description: Allow Ping (Echo Request)
• Rule Applied: Before Predefined Rules
• Action: Accept
• IPv4 Protocol: ICMP
• IPv4 IMP Type Name: Echo Request
• Apply Changes -> wait ~2 minutes

That’s it…

All this for Smokeping.
