Help with rules to pass ports and debug with a Marantz M1 HEOS device
I own a Marantz M1 which is a Denon HEOS device. Here is the problem. I have a firewalla gold plus. I have the M1 set up on a LAN subnet A and I want to wake it up and access it on another LAN subnet B. The general rules I use is to allow traffic from LAN B to LAN A, but block traffic from LAN B to A. I have mDNS realy and SSDP relay on for both LAN A and LAN B subnets,
I use Qobuz and try to select the M1 as a target device. When the M1 is asleep, the M1 does not show up as a selection as a direct device. I need to launch Qobuz on the same LAN A as the M1. When I choose the direct device, the M1 is there as a selection. I select it and as soon as I do, I hear a relay click on the M1 that indicates it is awake. I can play Qobuz music to it. After it is awake, I can go back to LAN B, and now the M1 is available to select as a direct device and play music. I would like to be able to wake the M1 from LAN B and play music.
Now my understanding is I need to make a rule to pass certain ports from LAN A to LAN B. And I do that with rules and not routes in the firewalla app. I tried everything in opening ports and nothing works. So I must be fundamentally doing something wrong,. I assume that I do not reboot the firewalla every time I add a new rule. Also, I have several layer 2 switches in the system, one on LAN A and another on LAN B. I also assume I dont need to reboot the switches nor change any setting on the switches.
To start, I change the rule on LAN B and pause the rule that blocks traffic from LAN A to LAN B. On LAN A, I add a rule that allows bidirectional traffic from LAN A to LAN B. On LAN B, I add the same rule. With those, LAN A and LAN B should be as if it were teh same LAN. But it still doesnt behave correctly. I cannot see nor wake up the M1 from LAN B.
What am I doing wrong and how do I debug this?
Thanks

When you lift up block rules between different LANs, have you test whether ping works between the client device on LAN B and M1 while it's awake? This will confirm the general local connectivity works or not. So we can focus on Wake M1 on LAN A from LAN B.
By "I cannot see nor wake up the M1 from LAN B", what method did you use to wake up the M1 from LAN B?

I also pinged from LAN A to LAN B. With the default rule, The ping doesnt work. WIth the restriction lifted, the ping works. So the rules are working. SO again, it is very strange that when I allow bidirectional traffic from LAN A to LAN B, I cannot wake the Marantz M1. So what kind of port does not pass on 2 different LANs when bidirectional traffic is allowed?

Googled this and it said that layer 2 switches will not pass WOL but layer 3 switches can. I have L2 switches. In any case, I figured a way to bypass this issue by setting the M1 to never sleep. But after a few minutes of non-use, the M1 dissappears from the direct service menu. So there is another issue beside the WOL issue. The M1 doesnt show up in the direcr service menu, independent of the WOL issue. I will try the following: allow traffic to and from LAN A to LAN B. Disable sleep on the M1. see if it still dissapears from the direct service menu on LAN B.
