According to VDSM logs

setupNetworks got executed here:

Host.confirmConnectivity means that, after setupNetworks, the bootstrap
engine VM was still able to reach the engine as expected.


and indeed after that we see:

So I'm pretty sure that the engine VM was correctly able to talk with the
host after the network configuration  change so, on my opinion, we should
focus somewhere else.

If I correctly understood you environment you have:
- A pfsense software firewall/router on 10.1.1.1
- Your host on 10.1.1.61
- You are accessing cockpit from a browser running on a machine on
10.1.1.101 on the same subnet

And the issue is that once the engine created the management bridge, your
client machine on 10.1.1.101 wasn't able anymore to reach your host on
10.1.1.61. Am I right?

In this case the default gateway or other routes should't be an issue since
your client is inside the same subnet.

Do you think we are loosing some piece of your network configuration
creating the management bridge such as a custom MTU or a VLAN id or
something like that?

Do you think pfsense can start blocking/dropping the traffic for any reason?

Dominik, any hint from you?
