How to connect Cerbo GX to both wifi and Garmin MFD

[dfsail]

I have a Cerbo GX MK2 running firmware version 3.63. It has been connected to the boat wifi successfully for months with a static ip address from the boat router (192.168.50 range) and we can connect to it with the VRM app. We would also like to connect it to our Garmin 8616 MFD using ethernet to see Victron information on the Garmin screens.

The Garmin DHCP server assigns the Cerbo an IP address in the 172.16 range with subnet 255.255.0.0 and we lose VRM connectivity. I tried setting an IP address on the Cerbo ethernet to the boat network range and that worked for VRM but the Garmin could no longer find the device.

How can I configure the Cerbo and/or our router to use wifi for internet and ethernet for Garmin MFD’s concurrently?

Does this provide the solution, setting ethermet ip to 0.0.0.0 on the GX.

Hi, Sorry for the troubles! Do you perhaps have both ethernet and wifi connection in that Cerbo? As in that case this might explain it: [IMG_0622] (Solution is to set gateway of the ethernet connection to 0.0.0.0) Which of your systems still has an issue (pls provide name or url). And is it ok if myself or someone else from Victron logs in remotely? If yes, pls enable remote support. With regards to: I don’t really understand that one. You can update either from usb stick or via intern…

Thank you for writing. Setting the Ethernet gateway to 0.0.0.0 on the Cerbo did not work. The screenshot mentions using the Ethernet to connect to a LAN while the connection I’m making is directly to an RJ45 port on the Garmin MFD.
