Making a digital community via USB-port on thunderbolt

Presently I’m utilizing a Home windows VM in order that I can use PUTTY to SSH into a tool that’s linked via a USB port to my MAC. This works superb. Nonetheless, I’m unable to SSH into the gadget on MacOS via iterm2 – I believe that it’s as a result of the community settings aren’t what they’re alleged to be. After I plug the gadget into my thunderbolt adapter on my Mac and run my Home windows VM the gadget reveals up completely superb and creates a brand new community in Home windows:

Nonetheless, on MacOS Thunderbolt bridge appears to be caught on “inactive”: (ignore the subnet masks mismatch, I’ve tried with 255.255.0.0 too)

Checking the MAC deal with of the Thunderbolt Bridge and looking out on the settings in ifconfig:

bridge0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500

        ifmaxaddr 0 port 9 precedence 0 path price 0

That is clearly a software program subject because the port works superb within the Home windows VM however for some cause networking appears to be much more difficult on Mac.

How do I replicate the Home windows conduct on MacOS? I need the wifi linked to the web, and I desire a separate LAN connection via the USB cable to my gadget in order that I can ssh into it. The gadget is just not linked to the web.

My .ssh/config file:

Host inst
    HostName 192.168.137.2
    BindInterface bridge0
    Consumer testuser
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_testuser
    Port 22
    IdentitiesOnly=sure

$ssh -vvv inst
